Due to reduced employment opportunities, many senior citizens who are relatively healthy have a lot of free time after completing their daily chores. Many of these senior citizens would like to utilize their free time to go on a holiday, yet are unable to do so, because their savings may not be sufficient to cover their travel expenses due to low returns. However if the senior citizen owns a house, he or she can opt for a reverse mortgage, and receive monthly payment depending on the value of the house, to go on a holiday. The home owner should consult reverse mortgage advisors to get the best deal for his or her home.

Business opportunities in a small town
Though most of the larger companies which pay good salaries are located only in larger cities, there are a number of disadvantages of living in larger cities like higher pollution levels, higher rentals, time spent commuting daily and lack of social network. Large cities offer a lot of opportunities for younger people at the beginning of their career, however due to the pyramidical corporate structure, increasingly older people who went to cities for jobs in their youth are preferring to relocate to small towns and avail of the various options for starting a business and making money which are discussed in great detail in this article.
Though larger metro and other cities offer a large customer base, allowing a business to break even in a shorter period of time, and make more profit, there is also a lot of competition and sometimes paranoid security agencies may make life difficult for individuals who do not have a large social network. Many large organizations do not wish to keep a large number of large number of mid level managers on their payroll and offer voluntary retirement schemes to reduce their monthly payroll. For a better quality of life, many of these retired people and other middle aged individuals may move to smaller towns where they were born and educated.
As the job opportunities with a monthly salary are even more limited in a small town, many older people with some savings prefer to start their own business, offering a product or service for the residents of the town. While there are some problems faced in a smaller town like limited customer base, lower spending power and difficulty in finding honest qualified staff with a professional attitude towards work, there are a few advantages like lower rentals for offices and shops, less competition and less money to be spent on advertising to increase awareness levels.
Hence it is important to properly research the niche of the business , the existing demand and competition before deciding to invest money in starting a particular business in a small town. Though there are few large companies headquartered in small towns, many large companies like banks, insurance, finance, telecom companies have branch offices and their employees along with government employees get a regular monthly salary which they spend on essentials like food, travel, clothes, housing, repairs, hobbies, home decor, healthcare and personal grooming. These employees will also be looking for safe investment options for financial emergencies and old age.
Food related services like pizza and other fast food restaurants are always assured of regular customers if they offer quality food at a reasonable price. Most people prefer to get their expensive accessories like footwear, handbags, umbrellas repaired instead of purchasing new items, so a well equipped, shoe, footwear, bag repair shop will always be in demand. Most people, offices and businesses use mobile phones,computers, copiers and other electronics extensively and these expensive items are likely to require repairs over a period of time. So starting a repair shop, can be a good business option, along with offering second hand or refurbished electronic items. Marketing agencies who help selling food, home decor and other home made items online and offline in the small town and surrounding areas can also do a lot of business,especially if there a large number of tourists. So for a person interested in making money in a small town, there are a large number of options available depending on the location of the town.
Fish, fruits and health
The health and skin of a person depends to a large extent on his or her diet. Hence it is recommended that every individual includes some fruits in their diet. In coastal areas or close to the river most people include seafood in their daily meals though during the monsoon, they may have to hunt fish as some types of fishing are banned.
Hotels in Goa allegedly blind to sex racket
The media in Goa covered yet another sex racket exposed by the police, only in this case, the amount involved was shocking especially to the harmless paypal account holders who are falsely accused of having “black money”. The sex racket exposed in June 2016, was a high end sex racket, with the clients paying between Rs 50000 at a minimum with the amount rising to between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 20 lakh for models and actresses for a single client.
These models and actresses were finding it difficult to get work, so they contacted the pimp Anand Kumar or Andy who had a high end clientele willing to pay a large amount. According to police sources the pimp Andy would split the amount received with the woman, and had become extremely wealthy in a short span of time, owning three plush homes in and around Panaji. For these sexual favors usually all the payment is being made in cash only, Black money .
When a paypal account holder receives Rs 30000 in their bank account for sale of domain names or advertising, the security agency officials become paranoid that it is going to be used for a terror attack, and shout black money, though it can be easily accounted for. On the other hand, women and their associates are receiving lakhs daily in black money only, yet there is no one in panaji or goa monitoring their activities, what is cbi doing?
The media also reported that the hotel managers were aware why these women were coming to their hotels, yet they ignored the matter and did not report it to the police.Only now the police are checking the hotel records for more details. It would be interesting to know the names and profile of the clients of these women who were paying Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh for a single day. The hotels did not want to lose their regular customers, reporting the matter to the police.
