During retirement, you’ve got greater flexibility to enjoy your time, run errands, and take in more of your surroundings. How about making your own hours to earn a little extra cash as you go along? If you’ve got a 2001 or newer model 4-door sedan and pass a vehicle inspection, you can be a driver for Uber. Other conditions apply according to Uber.com. The average earnings per hour with Uber is $19.04. Nearly a 40% premium as compared to $11.68 per hour which is the median pay for taxi drivers and chauffeurs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you’re up for giving someone a ride to the mall, a park, or the airport, it’s a great way to earn as you go and maybe add an adventure along the way.
