Retirement.

Just yesterday a friend told me “I want to do this after retirement”. That statement hit me so hard in the context of what we are all going through right now. Is there a retirement?

Retirement as such is the time when you decide to stop active work and just relax. Historically, this happened at around the age of 60. But in the modern times… Some people want to work for the rest of their lives. Some talk about work being life. Some talk about hating work until they retire. My personal motto is to enjoy work in my everyday life.. which essentially eliminates the concept of retirement. If I enjoy my everyday, what’s tbe point of retirement anyway? Right?

The other side to this is.. who is going to live until the age of 60? COVID showed us how fragile each of our lives are. Who can tell if you will live tomorrow? You might be tempted to get an insurance when you hear that. But I want you to think about your so called retirement plan… And execute on it today! Who knows if there is a retirement for you? Start doing what you want to do now!
