Reading for Fun and Profit ~ RIFS
I've always been a reader, gobbling up everything from cartoons to novels to text books with equal fervor. The stages of my reading changed depending on the stages of my life, though now, in midlife, I read all the same things I used to read when I was younger, and then some.
These days, however, I'm looking to spread my reading wings to augment my income when I retire in two years. Early retirement requires thoughtful planning, with an eye to keeping up my end of the income bargain. And being a volunteer editor on another website where I post my writings gave me the idea that I could parlay my English teacher skills into a new line of work.
So it's decided...when I leave off reading students' work upon my retirement, I'll use those skills to help people willing to pay me to help them produce quality writing. I can guarantee they'll be happy with the results -- the clients I already have through my volunteering gig can attest to that! And I'll enjoy my job, too!
Reading is financially sound -- RIFS!
