Founder

In today’s world there is increasing opportunity to earn money quickly, yet many people haven’t been able to take advantage of developments because they are already committed to employment that takes up the majority of their time. They feel that retraining is difficult, but with the day-to-day cost of living, they haven’t been able to provide as well as they would like to for retirement. But as people near retirement age, this can cause anxiety as they may feel they don’t have enough of a “nest egg”.

Priorities are different too, as people live longer and often want to get involved in something that lets them learn new skills, contribute to their community, and keep their minds engaged … the idea of 20 years of golf might be appealing to some, but to others that’s a nightmare!

Earn Money in Retirement was created when founder Jo McKee was inspired by her own mom, who at 73 still looks after a handful of bookkeeping clients. This allows her mom to live on a part-pension but easily cover the costs of running her apartment that’s located in a beautiful, sprawling landscaped area right across from the ocean. It means she can stay in her own home, with views of the meandering swimming pool and the afternoon sun that pours right into her
bedroom on a winter afternoon.
