I started earning online at 58. Here are my 11 reasons why.
Nov 10, 2026
I was a working Jill. Then, at 58, I started earning portable income. People ask me why.
Here are my 11 reasons:
It got me out of the grind. I still wanted to work, just not that way.
It got me out of the ageism problem. Clients care what I deliver, not my birth year.
It gave me a path forward when I couldn’t see one.
It gave me the skills to earn a portable income using what I already knew.
It let us move abroad. Duffels, dogs, Costa Rica, then Spain.
It keeps me in the game. I worry about becoming irrelevant, and this keeps me current.
It gave us active income, so life isn’t fixed.
It extends our runway. Our savings last longer, and we get to do more of what we want.
It gave me more options about where to live, how much to work, and what comes next.
It opened up a new way of helping others, including you.
It keeps my brain working and active.
Do one or more of these sound familiar?
If so, maybe you want to talk about where you are, where you want to go, and whether short-term project work could fit your life.
If so, let’s talk. I’m happy to help you figure it out...wherever it leads.
Thrive through transition,
Jeanne
