... and yes, I've retired and that's a big yahoo for me.
Many would and will say when you retire, the boring years starts. The nothing-to-do days begin; the missing times spent with friends and colleagues dawns; the catching up of the void from your work life creeps in and makes you utterly lonely and a bit miserable and yes to all that blah blah blah cheap talk.
To me all that is crap lah!
I DON'T miss any of that. In fact, moneyless or filthy rich, no friends or all friends dead, hobbyless or too much of a hobby, no debts or debt ridden, in all honesty I REALLY don't care.
I've worked a little over 34 years and have still something like 10 of those years left in me. One thing I've learned, with all that income the major part of my work life was spent paying debts and bills. Nothing much to save.
One other thing I know for sure, by 30 years of age if one is not a millionaire, then one is certain to go down the years earning all the money but end up paying debts unless one strikes a lottery.
Well! the end days are here now. Life has indeed taken a bit of a boring twist but they're things I do to keep this aging body of mine moving.
Over the years, having started work at age 16 as a porter to a fruit wholesaler to finally clocking out from an MNC IT company; having worked in both private and civil sectors, I don't think I would want to go thru' all that all over again. I must say, the frustrations are immensely overwhelming so it's pointless to reminiscent all that anymore.
I've met people who prefer not to retire and continue like for forever, I wish them all the best.
As for me, I end it here.
Its' simply too beautiful to end it here and not continue anymore.
