    Digital advertising consultants - because no one over 30 can hit this f’ing moving target. Got 18 year olds now mastering the digital arts, making more in a year than their parents/grandparents did over an entire career.

    I assumed the internet put TV channels like the Home Shopping Network out of business, but I’m constantly reminded that my parents keep them afloat.

    Maybe you would have a better shot at thinking what they have but cannot give away. There are lots of boomers, with small businesses who are about to go into retirement. But they cannot hand over their business to their children cause they do something else or they don’t have any and the businesses are too small to run without them.

    In all honesty OP one industry that will always have work is the funeral business. That is not a job for just anyone.

    My mom is 84 she spends her money on groceries, cable, internet, cell phone, gym membership, fabric, yarn, plants, gardening, and vitamins. The women is a machine and looks 20 years younger than her age.

    Liquor, car payments, timeshares, overpriced cable packages, John Deere lawn mowers, mortgage payments, chain restaurants, overpriced cell phone insurance plans, credit card bills, sending their kids a few dollars here and there, college debt payments
