in fact i had some of these activities even when i was working (by the way, I'm actually not that old... haha), i guess may be is the "loss of status", no more authority as compared to working life.

it is nOt abOut nO activity. it is because retirees have nO mOney tO retire sO retirees spend all their TiME lOOking for mOney and have nO TiME tO retire. their CPF and banks savings had been earning interests belOw iNflatiOn ratEs and belOw cOst Of CAPITAL. retirees became pOOrer by the years because of lOw interest ratEs. This is the NEW ECONOMIC SLAVERY Tsunami on RETIREES |

retirement -- boring? hearsay others may even find it depressing. think need not be so; i've seen other active & busy retirees. considering these: exercise -- very important as health problems can wipe out much savings/limit mobility be young at heart explore new networks and make new friends (e.g. exercise in group; line dancing; chitchat) learn new skills/gain a hobby/keep your mind alert (e.g. learn calligraphy, gardening, cooking & mah jong) discover your interests and make a difference (e.g. be active in politics/community/social groups/teach/extend a helping hand/smile) don't forget to appreciate your loved ones...also, try to help out w/ shopping/cooking/cleaning.

Working in a farm is not easy. I stayed in Kampong before and had a small plot of farm. I remembered the sweet potato farm we had. It supplied us veg for some time. Nice feeling but tending it was not easy. Hard work needed like weeding, watering, adding fertisers etc. The other side is always greener. In the end, my conclusion is anywhere on earth is just temporary, not my home forever. We are just transiting only. |

A cheaper alternative would be to rent a plot of land in Lim Chu Kang lor. Or even cheaper.......go work in a farm in Lim Chu Kang for...say 1 week. Perhaps that helps to update your equation variable in your existing model ??

Retirement is not to retire and do nothing... It is retirement from having to slog to survive living but without having time to do what you really like to do... To catch up on all the things you need to do to be really happy. In other words, retirement enables you to do the 1,000,001 things you had wanted to do but couldn't... But few can retire...  |
