#01 - Personal - How to handle your “retirement”!

"Retirement” is a myth!
The American people have been lied too.
“America” has always held that the goal of the worker has been permanent “Retirement”!
It has never said what “retirement” means.

Can there be a “Retirement Policy”?
This “myth” affect all generations...those that are young …those that are still working….those that are thinking about retirement!
The government stresses “retirement” without knowing what it’s all about!

Are you sure there is a “retirement” policy?
Is a “retirement” policy something that everyone has ?
What do people do where there is no retirement policy?
What do you do with a retirement policy?

These are important questions that need answers.
What do you do in retirement? How does your life change? Is this a matter of money…only? Suppose you have extra time….what do you fill it with? With whom do you want to spend more time? How much more time and what do you want from this extra time?

How do you handle the so-called “Retirement Policy”?.... (if any?)
Are you thinking about all those things that you can buy? … (Why?)
Are you thinking about all those places you are going to visit? … (Why?)
Are you thinking about all you can do for the grandchildren?
Are you thinking about all you can do for yourself?

What actually is “retirement”?
Do you actually live to “retire”?
Does everyone have a different idea about “retirement”?
Suppose you don’t have to work in that awful job, suppose that you want to see your wife more, suppose you want to see your kids more, suppose you want to live in a house that’s bigger? Does this amount mean you are now living “in envy, in frustration”?

Do what you have to do, so you can choose what you want to do!

Well, what to do?
Live with an answer to these questions. Be satisfied with what you are doing, knowing that things will turn out better. Don’t live a life of waiting, of frustration, of envy”!
All the things you want now will come when you are ready! If your lifestyle is such that you are not ready, “worry” will only make it worse. It will not answer a thing.

Try to answer some of these questions. Try them on your best friend, your wife, your college age kids.
Try them while you still need the answers!..... Try them while you still have the time!
Or have you just “retired”?........ (The “myth” says it will answer all your questions.)
