About

Welcome to irCurt’s (I are Curt’s .com)

Hi, I’m Curt. I retired on SSI at 62 (63 this month—born in 1961) and deal with a mix of physical and mental challenges. Like many people, I’ve tried different ways to earn a little side cash, but it’s been a struggle.

I’ve dipped my toes into Etsy, graphic design, freelance gigs, and microtasking. Along the way, I picked up a few skills. If you need some quick graphic work, I still have a Fiverr gig hanging around. But honestly, none of that turned into a steady income for me.

Right now, what’s actually working is short surveys from one site. I’m earning about $100–$150 a month, and on a good day, I can make $20–$30! It’s not life-changing, but real money helps me get by. It’s also one of the few things I can do that fits where I’m at in life—like when raking leaves for 30 minutes gives me chest pains.

This site is my next step. I’m building something to share my story, show what I’ve learned, and help others find ways to make a little extra money. I’ll be honest about what works, what doesn’t, and what might be worth a try.

From humble beginnings come great things, right? Stick around, and maybe we’ll figure out something great together.

p.s. This site is fresh as of December 2024. I’m still adding content and resources, so watch for updates.
