Websites of official organizations

1. Naturally, in first place in this group we put the website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Here you can find official information about the types of pensions, the conditions for their assignment, the procedure for recalculation, etc. In addition, messages about changes to pension legislation, news and so on. In general, it makes sense to visit this site quite regularly.

In the upper right corner of each page of the Pension Fund website you can see a link to a list of Pension Fund branches by region. These links lead not to individual websites of regional branches, but to individual pages of regional branches all on the same PF website.

2. Virtual School of the Pensioner, future and present. The site was created by G.B. Kolesov, an expert in pension planning, an independent pension consultant, as he recommends himself on the main page of the site. The site contains a lot of materials with answers to various questions of pensioners. It seems that you can get advice on an issue that interests you.

3. Social protection - a site about benefits for veterans, disabled people, pensioners, families with children. The site is not an official resource of the authorities social protection, is run by a private individual. However, it contains a lot useful materials for different categories of beneficiaries, legislative acts, articles on health. As stated on the website, “The purpose of the website is additional information about social protection measures.”

4. “We’re a year old, it doesn’t matter.” Nice design, there are interesting materials.

5. Starichki.Ru - a social network for middle-aged and older people (for those over 40). As it is written on the main page, its “activities are aimed at organizing Internet leisure for the wise and experienced generation, at providing and discussing useful and interesting information and most importantly, the active communication of all users." So you can take a look to get your own idea of ​​​​this network.

6. Free virtual computer Academy for pensioners. Website developer - Sergey Avdevnin. On the site you will find lessons on the simplest topics: registering a mailbox yourself, connecting an answering machine to your mailbox, connecting an email client, working with a web browser, making money on the Internet, what is electronic money and the like. A very useful site in terms of mastering the computer and the Internet. Although it does not cover all questions you may have. By the way, don’t believe the advertisements you see on other sites that promise to teach you how to use a computer and the Internet in 3 days. This requires significantly more time and patience. But nothing is impossible and you can start from S. Avdevnin’s website.

7. "After 50". The author of the site is Konstantin Drozdov. There are also lessons on mastering a computer here, but the topic of the site is more extensive. A lot of practical advice- what programs to install on your computer, how to get used to the Internet, how to create a website, articles about health, gardening, home crafts, what you can do in your spare time, how to earn extra money for a pensioner. There are a lot of advertisements, but they are placed in the right and left columns and do not interfere with reading the main text.

8. “Computer, Internet - to help beginning users of the older generation” is another site designed to help older people get comfortable with the computer and the Internet. Author - Lyudmila Shiryaeva (Fursova). Judging by the fact that the site has more than 1000 visitors daily, the site is useful.

9. Social information service for pensioners. Overall an interesting site containing a lot of useful information for retirees.

10. “MILITARY PENSIONERS FOR RUSSIA AND ITS ARMED FORCES”. An actively updated site aimed at military retirees. With some protest-political slant.

11. The online magazine "The Third Age" is an interesting resource. There are useful materials on various topics and a forum.

12. Country Pension - social network pensioners. Forum, interest clubs, blogs. The “Clubs” section is very interesting - communication based on interests.

13. Electronic magazine "New Pensioner" An interesting resource. Just look at the list of topics in the left column. And news seems to appear regularly.

14. Health in old age. How to stay healthy, regardless of age - articles from Sergei Samoilov. The author wants to show and teach all the elderly how to keep themselves in good shape.

15. Information world of an elderly person. A selection of links to resources for pensioners, including foreign ones. In the world (except Russia) there are a lot of foreign magazines and newspapers for older people, websites created specifically for retirees. "The Information World of an Elderly Person" will help you find them.

Retirement can be perceived in different ways: as a tragedy (you were deprived of your favorite job), as an opportunity to finally relax and devote more time to yourself and your family, or as a chance to learn a new business, for example, entrepreneurship.

Business for retirees- an excellent chance to get a supplement to your pension, which in our country is often meager, and in general - to gain a second youth by doing an interesting and profitable business.

Do all retirees need a business?

No one encourages all retirees, without exception, to start doing business as soon as you quit your previous job.

You can safely enjoy your vacation if you:

• you are not in financial need (your children help, you managed to earn a decent pension from the state or took care of your savings);
• If you have health problems, then it’s better to focus on something more important;
• are in demand even without a business, for example, if you have a hobby or raise grandchildren.

If you are full of strength and desire to work further, and in addition, you are in financial need, but are forced to leave your main place of work for age, then you should look for business options for retirees.

It is simply necessary to be constantly busy and in demand - it prolongs youth and allows you not to focus on age or minor health problems.

Why do retirees simply need to do business?

Some older people, when they retire, fall victim to the stereotype: my time has passed, I have worked hard, I need to give way to the younger ones.

Young people can easily find their place in the sun.

After all, it’s not about age, but about the desire and personal qualities of the person who decided to do business.

You can easily give a head start to young competitors because you have many advantages over them:

1. Nothing distracts you from your business anymore: you don’t have small children who are sick, a second job that takes a lot of effort and time, etc.
2. You have plenty of time to do business.
3. Pensioners have experience (including life experience) accumulated over the years, while young people in no way can boast of the same.
4. Retired people need less time to sleep, many generally suffer from insomnia, which means everyone free time you can dedicate to business.
5. You have many friends and acquaintances who can help you in the early stages of launching a startup.

What should a pensioner pay attention to when choosing a business?

If you want to have something you've never had, you'll have to do something you've never done.

In fact, the most difficult thing for you is not to collect the amount of capital investment (there are startups that require minimal investment), but to decide what business to start as a retiree.

You should choose a project that is right for you, will not be too difficult to manage, and will become self-sustaining in the first year.

In order for a retiree to choose the right business, many factors need to be taken into account:

1. How much money do you have to launch a startup?
   If, for example, you decide to open a store, you will need an impressive amount, but an online business does not require any investment or is content with minimal investment.
2. What knowledge and skills do you have?
   Confident computer users retirement age can start a business on the Internet.
   Those who are not computer literate should look for a more traditional startup.
3. How much time are you willing to devote to business: you will be satisfied with full or part-time employment.
4. What resources do you have: land, personal transport, free real estate, a computer connected to the Internet, something else.
5. The state of your health.
   Will you, for example, be able to engage in agriculture, the sewing business, or will you have to look for something easier?
6. Free niches in your city, especially if you decide to engage in traditional business: sales, catering, production, etc.
7. Profitability of the business that interests you.
   No matter how young and strong you feel, consider your real age.
   A good business for retirees is one that pays off within a year maximum.

Traditional business for retirees

If we talk about the traditional perception of the word “business” itself, then many understand it as a synonym for the word “sales”.

And this makes sense, because, for example, opening your own grocery or clothing store is simple and profitable business for retirees, however, on the condition that you think through all the nuances.

It is beneficial to open a store or stall for residents of small towns or villages of retirement age if there is a lack of places in your locality where people can shop.

Moreover, you can open such a store in your own home, if the space allows and your home is located in a place with high traffic, or by purchasing a metal container.

To become the owner of such a modest business, you do not need large financial investments.

Traditional startups also include opening a catering establishment.

Great restaurant in big city– this business is not for all retirees, because it will require a lot of money to open it.

But if you live in a small town and know that its residents lack a catering establishment, then why not take your chance to start a business.

See for yourself what is better to open: a bar, a small home-cooked restaurant, a roadside cafe or something else.

Business for retirees that can be done from home

There are types of businesses that you can do without leaving your home and without investing a lot of money in opening them.

Such startups for retirees include:

1. Work on the Internet.
   We'll talk about this type of business a little later.
2. Tutoring.
   If you have worked as a teacher for a long time, you know perfectly well foreign language or have another useful skill, such as sewing, then you can organize lessons right at home.
3. Creating something for sale with your own hands: knitted or embroidered items, postcards self made, bouquets of sweets, jewelry, souvenirs and more.
   You don’t have to sell it all yourself - you can enter into an agreement with the seller.
4. Growing indoor plants.
   You can focus on one thing (cacti, orchids) or try various options.
   By the way, you can also breed aquarium fish or small rodents for sale.
5. Mini-kindergarten.
   You can keep an eye on the children of neighbors who do not want and cannot send their children to kindergarten while their parents are at work.
6. Repair (household appliances, watches, shoes, clothes) - relevant for handymen.
7. Treatment.
   If you are a nurse or doctor by training, you can give injections at home, administer IVs, massage, and provide consultations.
   The main thing is to remember the basic rule of a physician: do no harm.

When choosing a home-based business for retirees, use your knowledge, skills and abilities.

You may well continue to do what you did before you retired, just work not for someone else, but for yourself, devoting as much time to the business as you want.

Business for pensioners on the Internet

Smart people use the Internet not only as a tool for communication or entertainment, but also to earn money.

If you, as a pensioner, are a confident PC user and have a computer connected to the Internet, then you can run a business right at home, which does not require investment and does not take too much time.

Such a business is:

1. Copywriting.
   Relevant for pensioners who can write competently and interestingly.
   Creating various texts for websites has become a real salvation for people of retirement age and a decent supplement to their pension.
2. Creating your own website.
   In this case, you must, of course, have certain knowledge and skills, as well as have the necessary amount to create a website.
3. Writing custom tests, term papers, essays and other things.
   Relevant for teachers and retired teachers.
   By the way, you can edit manuscripts or proofread printed texts in the same way.
4. Earn money from clicks, reading emails, clicking on links, etc.
   You can search for such earnings on the sites Wmmail.ru, Seosprint.net, Profitcentr and others.
5. Sports betting.
   Pensioners have enough time to follow news in the world of sports, watch matches and other sporting events, so they can place bets on the Internet or in real ones.

Business for retirees who do not have health problems

If you retired young enough, still full of strength and health, then you can easily start a business that requires a lot of physical exertion.

Business for retirees living in a village or city in a private house with personal plot, could be like this:

1. Growing seedlings, flowers, fruit bushes and trees for sale.
2. Growing agricultural products for sale.
   If this matter is not going well for you, then you can think about opening your own agricultural company in order to be able to enter into contracts with supermarkets for the supply of vegetables and fruits.
3. Dairy business.
   Get one or two cows or several goats to sell dairy products at a market close to you.
4. Egg business.
   Homemade eggs are healthier than factory eggs and are valued more by buyers.
   By the way, you can sell not only chicken eggs, but also, for example, quail eggs.
5. Livestock business.
   You can raise poultry, rabbits, rams, piglets and other livestock for sale.

Another profitable business for retirees that you can do right at home is cakes and other desserts for the holidays to order.

You can also prepare snacks for buffets, corporate parties and other special events, or hot lunches for market traders and office employees.

If the territory of your private home allows, then you can install a smokehouse and sell your own smoked fish, lard, chicken, and ham.

It is clear that all the proposed options require good health and physical strength, therefore, if you cannot boast of either one or the other, then it is better to look for an easier business that does not require such serious loads, fortunately, there is plenty to choose from.

If you don’t like any of the proposed options or, due to objective reasons (poor health, lack of special knowledge and skills, problems with resources, lack of time, etc.) you cannot implement any of the startups, then you don’t have to look at all business for retirees.

You can get an increase in your pension in any usual way, for example, by getting a job as a museum caretaker, a watchman or a night watchman.

Another category of benefits related to real estate, namely premises intended for permanent residence, can be called the benefit of receiving gas and heat at the expense of the state.

The amount of payment that is returned to the pensioner almost never covers 100% of expenses and is calculated by each region independently. IN best case scenario- this is 50%.
