Your Solution To Lowering Retirement Expenses: Start Bartering Them Away Now - Forbes

IMS Barter

Retirement often starts like a vacation. You’re all excited and eager to begin the journey. Each day represents the beginning of a new venture.

Until it doesn’t.

For some, it becomes a pleasant, reliable schedule. For others, it’s Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. The incessant repetition begs for something completely different. That’s why you’re better off going into retirement with a handful of casual hobbies. You can rotate between them to keep things different.

What if you want something more than just the pleasure of collecting things? What if you’d really like to build something? You can certainly volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, but, for many, building something doesn’t mean physical. It means something akin to building a business.

If you fall into that group, why not turn one of your hobbies into a “small” business.

What people say

"Barter is AWESOME. We love it! Our first thought, whenever we have a purchase to make for the office, is to check the IMS on-line directory. If we don't find the item that our company needs there, we contact our trade broker, who has always been able to assist us. We have spent our IMS trade dollars on copiers, printers, letterhead, business cards, truck lettering, business and personal travel, employee incentives, customer appreciation gifts and charitable donations. And to top it all off, IMS' travel department booked accommodations for us in Europe!!! Great stuff..."
