If you’re wondering what to do after retirement, how to make extra income after retirement, or whether the things you already know, collect, or have around the house could become a business, Kathy’s story is a great place to start.
After retiring from teaching music and theater, Kathy took the Poshmark selling she had been doing part-time and began building KathySingz into a full-time online resale and curated-gift business.
