3. Forex - Trading currencies on the foreign exchange is similar to the risks in trading stocks. Essentially, you are betting that one type of currency will out-perform another. This could pay off in excessive amounts of money, or tap everything you put into it.

4. Business Ventures - There are many people across the globe looking for someone to invest in his or her business. If you have the finances to back a business, you could turn yourself into a successful entrepreneur as well.

  1. To be honest, I would not probably recommend starting Forex related business when you are over 50. First of all loss can be really frustrating, second of all-the chances of loss are to high, that is why it is better to concentrate on something like learning. In case you put too much on Forex, you may find yourself left with nothing. At that age, it is better to protect yourself from different money loss related situation. You surely do not want to use one of those money loans online, right? Anyways, it was nice to read a post like that. Thanx a lot
