Pensioners are being offered the chance to earn £500 by living like a teenager for two weeks.
Money.co.uk, a pension comparison website, is hiring a 'retirement tester' who will earn the generous sum to try out a number of activities typically enjoyed by today's youth.
The job will involve trying out TikTok, posting pictures of meals to Instagram, playing videogames, vlogging and watching binge-worthy Netflix shows such as You or Bridgerton.

The aim of the unique role is to discover which popular hobbies more commonly enjoyed by young people can be enjoyed by those in retirement as well.
James Andrews, Personal Finance Expert at money.co.uk commented: “A New Year can signal a time many of us look to take up a new hobby or learn a new skill, but stereotypes have seemed to stay the same for what people of pensioner age can and can’t enjoy.
"With this new role, we want to show that those stereotypes no longer apply and that you’re only as old as you feel.
"Whether it’s creating a TikTok account or diving into the latest video games, we hope we provide some inspiration for pastimes pensioners could pick up in 2022, and look forward to finding our CE-OAP to rank these hobbies from best to worst."
With applications now open, the only requirement for applying for the job is that the applicant must be retired.
The successful applicant will be tasked with rating their enjoyment of using social media apps like TikTok and Instagram as well as playing popular videogames such as Fortnite while binge-watching popular Netflix shows usually targeted at a younger audience.
To add more to the teenager experience, the retirement tester will have to vlog about the whole experience.
The experience will last for two weeks and the lucky applicant will be paid £500 and will be supplied with a games console and Netflix subscription.
If this seems like the role for you, or you know someone who will benefit from the experience, you can apply for the role here .
Applications for the role close at 11.59pm on Friday, January 7, 2022.
