Welcome to Thrifty Boomers
Meet Victoria: Smart Money + Side Hustle Mentor
Hey y’all – I’m Victoria, the creator of Thrifty Boomers. Here you’ll find practical money-saving tips, frugal living ideas, and side hustles designed for baby boomers and seniors 60+. My mission is simple: to help you stretch your dollars, earn extra income, and enjoy life after 60 without financial stress.
A Lifetime of Side Hustles
My Journey to Thrifty Boomers
“I’ve been chasing side hustles since I was nine years old (yes, I was that kid knocking on doors with boxes of greeting cards).
After 20+ years in corporate upper management, I opened my own small business and became a distributor for my employer. Later, I shifted into working as a personal assistant and bookkeeper for two local business owners. Each of these roles gave me valuable insight into saving money, managing resources wisely, and building income streams that fit real life.”
Along the way, I never stopped chasing side hustles — from creative projects to practical gigs — and I learned what works (and what doesn’t). When I turned 65, I realized I wanted a place to share what I’ve learned with other boomers. That’s how Thrifty Boomers was born — a community where we can trade ideas, explore new ways to save, and find flexible side hustles that keep life fun, more rewarding and financially secure.
My approach is simple: money should give you freedom, not stress. With the right mix of saving strategies, frugal living hacks, and extra income opportunities, it’s possible to live well at any age — especially after 60.
The Heart Behind This Site
Why Thrifty Boomers?
You might be wondering — why did I start Thrifty Boomers, and what makes it different?
I created this site because I saw so many baby boomers and seniors feeling stressed about money, especially after retirement. Some are living on limited incomes without the cushion of a pension or a well-funded 401(k), and the truth is, making ends meet can feel overwhelming. But no matter the reason, you deserve a space where you’re understood and supported.
That’s why I started Thrifty Boomers — a place to share real-world money-saving tips, practical frugal living strategies, and side hustle ideas that actually work for people over 60. My goal is to help you cut costs, supplement your income, and feel more secure while enjoying life in this next chapter, no matter your income level.
Here are a few questions I hear often:
💬 Isn’t frugal living just about cutting back?
Not at all! To me, frugal living means being creative — finding smart ways to save, repurpose, and enjoy life without wasting money.
💬 Can side hustles really work after 60?
Absolutely! I’ve tried plenty of flexible side hustles myself, and many are perfect for boomers who want extra income without the long hours or high stress. I do some sort of side hustle each and every day.
💬 What makes Thrifty Boomers different?
This site is built by a boomer, for boomers. I’ve lived the corporate life, run a small business, and worked hands-on with people to manage money. Everything I share here is practical, real-world tested, and doable.
At the end of the day, Thrifty Boomers is here to show that it’s never too late to save smarter, earn extra, and enjoy a lifestyle that feels rewarding — without breaking the bank.
