Retirement

"Most of us think of retirement as having
plenty of free time to choose what we wish
to do each day as we no longer
have to work!"

The “bliss” of having total personal choice concerning our day to day activities, however, can mean for many that the choices are still very limited due to poor health or lack of financial resources in retirement.

The so called “lucky ones”, the people who seem to have no restrictions on their ability to travel, help their children, change their home or motor vehicle, are usually not lucky at all, they have planned ahead and prepared for their retirement.

A pre-retirement stage, known as “Financial Independence” is what many people in most developed countries aim for. This often occurs from age 50 years onwards, for those who have planned ahead!

The fortunate ones who are enjoying Financial Independence, find that they only have to work 3-4 days a week instead of 5-6 days per week. The result is a lot less stress and a far better lifestyle is enjoyed.

Most people want more than anything, to have dignity in retirement, with sufficient income or wealth, not be dependent on their relatives nor the Government of the day, to not only survive, but to enjoy what they wish to do, when they personally want to!

Retirement, if planned and prepared for, can be a golden age of enjoyment for many people, where they can enjoy their choices of lifestyle and interests.

It is never too late to start planning for retirement, but the sooner you start to think it through, the better off you will be.
