4 Jobs You Can Get During A Pandemic
American jobless claims have surpassed 26 million in the wake of the COVID-19 shutdown. It’s safe to say there are a lot of folks out there who are looking for something, anything they can do to bring in a few extra bucks. Welcome to the new gig economy. Luckily, if you’re one of those people, there are plenty of ways to supplement your (lack of) income during these trying times. So let’s take a look at 4 jobs you can get during a pandemic.
Delivery Driver

One industry that’s definitely booming is food delivery. The good news is: if you have a car, you can get in on the action. Doordash and UberEats will both let you get started right away, as long as you’re 18 and you have a car. (Or a bike.)
You might be surprised how much money you can earn doing food delivery. Best of all, it’s a flexible gig. Work whenever you want, and make as many or as few deliveries as you please. Not a bad deal, right?
Warehouse Work

People aren’t just ordering food online. They’re ordering everything online. That means companies like Amazon are booming. And hiring. Between Amazon, Walmart, and CVS, there may be as many as 300,000 warehouse jobs up for grabs before this shutdown is over.
It may not be your dream job, but you could make $15-$20 per hour. Not bad for a temporary situation.
Tutoring

Don’t worry: you don’t need teaching credentials to tutor students online. In fact, you only need a high school diploma to do the job. Well, that and a knack for communicating with the young.
There are tutoring websites that allow you to upload your credentials and go to work. With so many kids out of school, it’s safe to assume quality tutors are in demand at the moment.
Miscellaneous Gigs

Maybe you have a skill that you’re not utilizing right now. Logo design. Or coding. Or translating documents, say.
The website Fiverr allows you to bid on gigs that use these skills. Set your price and go to work! You can charge anything from $5 to $995 per job and get paid on a per-assignment basis. Pretty sweet deal, right?

So you’ve done the math, stared at your savings account, and asked the big question: could $250,000 bankroll a full-time RV retirement? The idea is tempting—sunsets in Arizona, summers in the Rockies, no lawn to mow, and your backyard changing whenever you feel like it. But as dreamy as the open road sounds, retirement math still applies—even if your house has wheels.
The world is full of things that used to be cheap—or even free—but now come with an absurd price tag. You're paying more for less, and nobody even seems to notice. What's next? A breathing tax?
Money and family make strange bedfellows, and nowhere is this more apparent than when a well-intentioned loan transforms into a source of festering resentment for both parties. One gives the nephew a $5,000 loan with visions of graduation caps and promising futures, only to discover those funds financed RGB lighting and a graphics card powerful enough to render entire digital universes. The betrayal stings, but before writing off both the money and the relationship, there's a path forward that addresses the financial wound as well as the emotional fallout. The conversation can be awkward, but it's the only way out.
Retirement checks arrive with a promise of financial security after decades of work. But 8 states quietly reduce those benefits through taxation and create an unexpected burden for retirees. Understanding which states take a cut matters.
Social Security changes in 2026 include a 2.8% COLA, higher earnings limits, updated wage caps, and tougher overpayment rules. Here is what retirees must know to avoid costly benefit surprises.
Everything about the transaction looked professional on the surface. The website was polished, and the onboarding team was reassuring to anyone trying to gain control of their finances. A $2,000 fee was a serious investment in long-term stability. When the promised budget plan arrived as a single PDF, it felt underwhelming—but patience lingered because ongoing guidance had been implied. That patience ended when communication abruptly stopped, and the situation shifted from simple dissatisfaction to genuine concern. Cases like this live in an uncomfortable middle ground where coaching lacks regulation. Knowing where ordinary disappointment ends and where behavior becomes serious enough to report is what brings clarity to cases like this.
