Almost 1 in 4 Older Americans Has Taken This Step to Better Their Finances
The gig economy is booming these days. But when we think about people husting with a second job, let's be real -- we tend to picture Gen Zers or millennials who need the extra cash to do things like cover their student loans or build emergency savings.
But it's really not just younger folks who are embracing the gig economy. A good 23% of older workers have found a side job for additional income to help protect their retirement investments, according to a recent Nationwide survey of Americans aged 60 to 65. And if you're on the cusp of retirement, you may want to consider a side gig, too -- whether you're worried about your investment portfolio or not.
