What kind of work can a man do at home when he retires at the age of 50?

The first type: doorman or security guard

After retirement, naturally not many companies will re-employ retirees, and at the age of retirement, the body is not as good as before. Especially men, who generally retire five years later than women, needless to say about their physical functions. So what can retired men do? I think being a doorman and security guard is the most suitable job.

First of all, the requirements for doormen and security guards are not high. As long as they can watch cameras, open doors, be able to sit still, and have good conduct, many communities, schools, and even government units will generally recruit them.

Then, working as a doorman and security guard is also very regular. The working hours are not long, usually three shifts, 8 hours. In the remaining time, we old people can do other things at home. Taking care of the kids, going out to eat, and occasionally playing mahjong won't have any impact.

Finally, working as a doorman and security guard also pays a lot. You sit idle every day and still earn about one or two thousand. In some places, the salary is high, even up to three thousand.

Just like Uncle Liu, the security guard in our community, he retired at the age of 64 and has been working as a security guard for 9 years. He has a good division of labor. He works as a security guard during the day and is a grandpa taking care of his grandson at night. With a salary of 2,200 yuan every month, plus my own pension of more than 3,000 yuan, I not only live a comfortable month, but also have a colorful retirement life, so I won’t be idle.

The second type: working as an intermediary or matchmaker

Nowadays, whether you are renting or buying a house, looking for a job or looking for a wife, you will first find an intermediary to help. Especially now, when renting or buying a house, if you don't ask for help from an agent, you won't feel at ease when renting, and even less when buying. There are also those older singles, or those who are married for the second time, who want to find a wife. Most of them will use an agency for help. It is almost difficult to find a partner without an agency. And this intermediary is also a "matchmaker" to us.

Whether it is an agency or a matchmaker, this is very suitable for retired people to do. Because there is no cost to be an intermediary, you only need to have resources. Generally, older people have accumulated a lot of resources and connections in the past, so when we get older, we can use these to make money for ourselves.

Generally speaking, being an intermediary or matchmaker is the most profitable and the most leisurely. Just like Aunt Zhong from our same community, after retiring at the age of 55, she turned her garage into an agency store. She acts as an agency herself, finding and selling houses for others. She is usually very free, either posting on WeChat Moments to promote properties, or bringing people with her. Clients can go to see houses and sell a house, and they can rest for several months, and they can also earn hundreds of dollars by introducing tenants to rent a house.

As she got to know more and more people, Aunt Zhong also started to work as a matchmaker, helping single men and women find partners. The red envelopes for a couple would be huge. Moreover, doing these things of finding a partner and building relationships will also enrich your retirement life. You will have something to do every day, and you will also have an income every day.

The third type: online car-hailing driver

Now that taxis have been gradually eliminated, many online car-hailing companies have appeared in the streets and alleys, and in this online car-hailing business, as long as you are a driver , with a nice car, everyone can start a taxi business. This is very suitable for people who retire in their 50s.

Because the threshold for online car-hailing is not only low, but also very free. When you do online car-hailing by yourself, you can rest when you want, and go out when you want to go out for business, without being restricted by others. There is also good income from online ride-hailing. If you run five or six rides a day, you will have enough food for the day. If you work hard for a month, you will definitely earn more than your pension.

My neighbor, Uncle Zhu, started working as an online ride-hailing driver after he retired. His daily life is very regular. He drives to pick up orders at 6.30 in the morning. He almost always drives office workers for a casual run or two. In an hour, you can earn dozens of dollars. Then after 9 o'clock, I would call it a day and take my wife to buy groceries, go to the park, take a nap in the afternoon, and have an early dinner.

After 6 o'clock in the evening, almost all the office workers got off work, and Uncle Zhu drove out to pick up orders again. I asked Uncle Zhu how much he earned, and he said he could earn more than 3,000 a month just by taking orders in the morning and evening.
