Many people look to retirement as the big reward at the end of years of hard work. It’s what they’ve been waiting for. It’s what they’ve saved a lot of their hard-earned income for. Without a nine-to-five job, retirees suddenly have so much time on their hands to spend on golfing, gardening, and grandkids. For many in retirement, it is truly the golden age. But the reality for others is that they are caught off guard by how retirement can actually turn life on its head – both personally and financially. The truth is that if you haven’t prepared and saved for retirement, it can be tough. With no paycheck at the end of every month, no colleagues surrounding you for support, and the constant need to budget, retirement is often a struggle.
Many retirees are faced with the question of whether they should find part-time or even full-time employment. Falling back into employment is not the easiest thing to do, as retirees are older, and employers often don’t hire over the age of 50. Additionally, retirees give up the one thing they’ve signed up for during retirement: well-deserved freedom of time. But there is a way for retirees to enjoy their retirement while earning additional income – Stream Opportunity.
What is Stream Energy and Stream Opportunity?
Stream Energy is a company which operates in several states across the U.S., providing energy and other services to homes and businesses. Over the 13 years of its existence, the Dallas-based company has generated more than $8 billion in lifetime revenue. Today, through its Stream Opportunity program, the company has given thousands of people the opportunity to sell Stream Energy services and sign up new customers. The program equips those who join (called Independent Associates) with the tools, resources, and training that it takes to sell Stream Energy services. These services include:
- Energy Services – Stream Energy’s number one service is energy, which it provides to both residential and commercial properties.
- Home Services – As part of home services, customers can connect to their home no matter where they are.
- Wireless Services – Customers are also provided with various cell phone plans, including 4G LTE plans, and mobile hotspots.
- Protective Services – Stream Energy provides its customers with Stream Virtual MD. This gives them around-the-clock access to phone or video consultations with U.S. Board Certified doctors.
Once signed up for the Stream Opportunity program, Independent Associates automatically become part of a business that is already established and lucrative. Regardless of whether Independent Associates have a business background, they will receive the training and resources needed to successfully establish their own customer base. For retirees, joining Stream Opportunity provides them with the following benefits that fit their new lifestyle:

One of the main benefits for retirees who join the Stream Opportunity program is still having the freedom they want during retirement. Being an Independent Associate gives retirees the freedom to choose when they work and how long they work. This still allows for time to garden, spend time with grandkids, golf, and everything else that comes with this golden time.
Additional Income
Retirement is no walk in the park, and with no paycheck coming in every month, times can get tough, especially if you haven’t saved enough. Retirees often resort to looking for other income sources. Stream Opportunity provides them with just that – a way to continue living within their retirement while earning additional income.
A Community
With no colleagues to talk to, retirement can be very lonely. Without friends or family that are also retired, it’s tough to find community. Through events like Stream University, Ignition, Women of Power retreat, and Streamcation, retirees have an opportunity to build friendships and relationships with other Independent Associates.
With so many benefits, Stream Opportunity has created a lifestyle for retirees that they are fully in control of. They will have the luxury of enjoying their retirement with no worry about finances, have a community of associates to lean on (in business and life), and still have enough time to do whatever they want.
