A New Look on Retirement
If you enjoyed this post,
I was just talking to a co-worker about how I turned 33 this month when it hit me. How often do you hear people say “Another year older” when they talk about their birthday?
Today, I realized the opposite of that saying.
Your birthday is another year closer to retirement.
Adding another year to your life is not a bad thing. I am sure that for some of us, it would be fun to be a kid again. The sad truth is that the kid will grow out of kindergarten. The happy truth is you can’t take the kindergarten out of the “kid”.
What hit me just now is this, my grandmother who is still going strong at 96 years old has been “retired” for over 30 years. While it is tough living closer to 100 with all the cost of living and health care expenses, to be that old and still retired makes me appreciate the value of putting money away for retirement.
Tell me, how has getting older make you look at retirement?
(I don’t care how old you are, whether you are in your 20s or in your 60s)
