The Gig Economy for Older Women… the Good, Bad and Ugly!

Are you looking to make a little extra money in the years leading up to (or during!) retirement? Then, chances are you have considered using a site like Upwork (formally Elance) or Fiverr to work as a freelance writer, artist or marketing consultant.

Here are my views on the good, the bad and the ugly of being a freelancer after 60.
