 In the post, For Alzheimer’s Caregivers Considering an At-Home or eBay Income, I mention Suzanne Wells and her new blog at b5media, eShopOwner.com.

Suzanne has offered some additional insights for Alzheimer’s Notes’ readers:

 eBay is becoming more and more popular for the “sandwich” generation who are looking for additional means to bring extra income into the home, whether to save for retirement or to care for a parent or spouse.

eBay works great for caregivers or the homebound because sellers can interact with their customers and this helps with the isolation factor, and it gives the caregiver another focus, a hobby, and something fun to do to combat “caregiver’s syndrome.”

Whether the caregiver develops an e-business for a major income or as a hobby to interact with others and have contact with the “outside world,” Suzanne’s comments give us something to think about.

What do you do for diversion, for inspiration, for contact with others?  Have you developed an e-business or e-hobby that enables you to be more satisfied as a caregiver or homebound individual?
