Helped my Dad put together his first blog post. This was fun! I worked my whole life, since I was 22 years old, 40 hours a week, to retire. And when the time came, I discovered two things that disappointed me greatly: one, I was bored. My hobbies just weren’t cutting it. After 6 months I realized I simply had too much time. I had traveled to the places I wanted, spent time with my grandkids, and still. The second was more important: my retirement fund just wasn’t going to cut it. I’d saved wisely, but I wanted to make sure my kids, and their kids, had something to fall back on. Not to mention, I wanted to treat my wife to the occasional surprise. So I had too much time and too little money, and was too old to pick up a part time job, too worn out to go back to working 40 hours a week. And my skillset didn’t exactly translate to consulting. It was a complicated formula. The only thing I knew to do was to try different things that would fill my time and give me more money. I had to find the missing variable. First, I tried transcribing. That was, to put it kindly, horrendously boring. Then I tried data entry. Same thing—the tediousness of it was enough to make me retire from my career as a data entry worker in about a week. I realized there was something else I was craving. Not just a time filler, not just a money maker. But something that satisfied my desire to learn. That’s when I found out about Try2BFunded from my son. He told me he’d had great success making extra income while learning more about how investing works, the economy and the markets as a whole. I’d initially discouraged him from getting involved with all of that—it seemed too risky. I didn’t like that he was putting his money at risk. But then he explained that he didn’t have to put his savings into Try2BFunded— he was able to use their capital to start trading. I liked the sound of that. Then he said he had $100,000 to invest with. I loved the sound of that. Then he told me he got a whopping 60% of the profit. That’s when I was sold. Once I signed up with Try2BFunded, it was really easy to get started. I’m not the best with computers, but Try2BFunded made it really simple to track information. What I liked most was that there was a qualifying stage that made sure I was learning enough so I could keep my money intact. Try2BFunded taught me to manage risk and how to take the right leaps. On days where my moves didn’t pay off and I lost too much, Try2BFunded made sure I paused before things got out of control. After 7 weeks, I made it past the qualifying stage and got full access to the $100,000. For the last few months, I’ve been trading every day, building my portfolio, and filling my time the way I want. And I still have time to spend with the grandkids.
