Hi,
needless to say both of us are new here. We have always planned for retirement but never knew the days pass so slowly there is nothing much to do except to watch the second hand of the clock rotates 60 x 60 x24 for a day if makes us giddy and we take turns watching the second hand so we will not MISS a second we want to see life NOW, not wait until we can move and have to watch DVD to see the world we have a bit of savings and hopeful that it will stretch for a long time
we feel that one lifetime is a very short span of time- Working everyday is not a bad thing but it robs us of at least 8 – 12 precious hours in the most useful time of our lves. yes we need to make a living but building those wealth in excess of our needs … are these actions necessary when we go we can take them with us so that in our next life we can be benefit from this incredible feat of saving. we have friends who have a mearge family income and top it off they have a large family… yet they are very happy because they are not attracted to the material things in life such as LCD TV and so on each weekend they spend quality time with the family by the beach or the park
I think we need to really stop and time. we need to care very much what others think of us. our happiness and destiny are in our own very hands. why we need to conform to others if we are not doing anything that is against the law
we need to be free from these social and peer pressure. the 5 C’s for instant. we consider ourselves lucky to be able to see these things and put them to action but our friends would consider us NUTS giving up a high paying job for doing nothing at home. believe me our relationship as husband and wife has improved by leaps and bounds. we begin to realise that we have been selfish in pursuing our careers without giving much thoughts to the family because we keep telling ourselves ….. just a few years more
be kind to yourself and start living like a human being and not be a SLAVE OF OUR SOCIETY WHERE money and power seems to be placed above love, friendship, kindness and forgiveness. we are just two humble human beings in this sea of people trying to be ourselves
thank you
