Survey : How Would You Like Your Retirement To Be Like?
At some point in our lives we shall need to put down our tools and take a long term break from our lifelong contributions to life.
Mostly because our bodies are too tired to continue the daily grind, or simply out of choice.
Now tell me...
How do you envision your retirement?
How would you like it to be, ideally?
I would really love to hear from you!
Thanks in advance

I won't retire from working... I want to retire from engineer and start a brewery (my goal with WA)
Cheers!
😂
I am fascinated by manufacturing of any kind. I’m not joking I will visit Nate’s brewery😊
Sorry Jane and Dion. I was busy and missed the comments. You are both more than welcome... I always will need a quality team :)
@Dion3... Yes I brew beer and decided to turn it into my niche to give me more reason to keep on it.
@JaneMahlehle... I too enjoy all manufacturing. I currently work (for the last 12 years) as an engineer in chemical plants. That is where the love for brewing came from :)
Cheers to both!

We are not retiring. We continue to work online for as long as we can. However, we are now moving from Ecuador to the Caribbean coast of Mexico and doing house/pet sitting while working online so it really is a great lifestyle!
Life is good!

It sounds like a lot of fun! I can imagine the beautiful white sands.
That’s my kind of thing.
Happy life to both of you 😀

When I'm able to retire I'd like to move the a beach and not have be concerned with having to worry about where my next meal is coming from...just to hang with me husband and family
Hi Jane.
I would like it to be like I won the lottery, because I won the lottery. That would be nice.
Of course, as someone said, it would be helpful if I actually bought lottery tickets, but I figure that the odds against winning are so high, that I might as well ask the Universe to send me a winning lottery ticket also, as that would make it much easier. For me.
Thanks for asking.
How come you didn't share your desires with us?
Regards,
I would love to have enough money travel more and do some volunteer work with kids.
I definitely don’t want to be confined to the house or be a burden to anyone. That’s why I work out 🏋🏾♀️ and try to eat healthy.

Notable and laudable ideals!
I wish you happiness and healthiness. Also, wealthiness enough to achieve your aims... (but don't forget to have fun along the way 😉)
Hi Jane , well first off I am retired so this will e an honest answer. After I retired it was not what I thought it would be . My wife was sickly and so was I but I took care of her more than she took care of me . I was there right up until she did 5 years ago now , It's better now ,I am doing better and doing stuff I like to do .Thomas
I’m so glad to hear that things have turned out better for you Thomas.
I appreciate your comment
Thank you 😊
There is a general way of thinking that when you retire you will be sitting around all day doing nothing in particular.
Not a bit of it!
Since I retired from my career job every second of every day has been filled with something. Okay, I am still doing an easy job until WA success allows me to fully retire, but I can't see anything changing then.
I guess in your later years you want to make sure you achieve as much as you can before it's too late!
Life is a constant movement.
I’m going to keep moving forward with healthy body and open mind in all aspects of my life: personal; art and business.
Wish you great success!

I believe it's the Japanese who have no word for retirement.
I plan on getting younger as I age so I am not slowing down in the least. Taking care of our health so we can have a great quality of life is essential for me and I still have work to do there.
I will always be productive. My business(es) will continue. If anything I will do even more traveling and having adventures and trying a thousand new things.
Just no time to stop.

I like your attitude, Mel!
But let's be honest, you can indeed take good care of yourself but there will come the time when the body just can't take it anymore. What then?
I respectfully disagree. It is certainly possible, but I believe most people's health problems have been caused by their diet, environment and mindset and that can all be changed for the better. Plenty of active people living past 100. I want to be one of them. So ask me then what I might be doing differently when I am 120. :-)
I'm 61 and more active than ever.
Live Long and Prosper!
Mel
Mel you certainly have strong points for your argument and I agree with you.
Thanks for your time
Have a great day
Thank you, too, Jane!
I'm currently reading the eye opening book, The Longevity Paradox: How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age.
There is so much we were told through life that is simply false.

I would like my retirement to involve doing things which I enjoy as opposed to doing things which I feel that I must do, Jane, Alan
I agree. That’s how it should be. Thanks Alan.
Have a great day
