Making Money In The Snow

Some good thoughts there, Mark. Here's a few more:

Even if it's only raining, some folks might appreciate a personal shopper to either purchase groceries and transport them or help them with their grocery shopping, seek out specific gifts for the housebound person to give (don't forget wrapping paper, bows, and cards), run misc. errands, or even be a personal assistant for same-sex people who need help.

Everyone assumes that people have other folks who are there to check on them, help them with things and so on. Unfortunately, as one ages, this is not always the case. Even folks who are temporarily in a cast or awaiting surgery or some such who need help opening jars, doing laundry, filling out paperwork, or retrieving things from storage space beyond their reach temporarily would appreciate a helping hand. Just make yourself available for whatever needs to be done and the doors will open wide.

If the demand is good, you might consider getting yourself bonded/insured and creating your own services business.
