How about tutoring young kids?  I think there are organizations that vet you and send you out.  I was thinking about doing that a few years back for extra money.  You are good at math.

Are you organized?  Organize people's kitchens, garages, offices, etc. 

Most other jobs these days seem to require knowledge of Word, Excel and Powerpoint just to get in the door, even if the jobs don't really require those things.  Take a community college class to learn.

Maybe work from home jobs online or on the phone like Customer Service type jobs.

Daycare in your home: kids, dogs or elderly.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but I always feel extremely sad when I see someone divorce in their fifties. Is it just me?

I see it as having courage and hope to call it a day on a marriage that is long dead in the water. Especially in one's fifties.

Sometimes it is easier to stay in adequate wedlock than call it a day and say goodbye and start a new life.

We live for so much longer nowadays & some marriages have an expiry date.

Yet the stigma of a failed marriage remains in some minds.

I look at my parents as people who should have gone their separate ways - still locked in a marital cesspit of toxicity out of duty.
