Hi SHCians<\/p>\n
Begging your pardon Terence and the rest of Silverhairs, allow me to expand on the above.<\/p>\n
My take is many retirees are quite concerned whether their current savings will last through the years for I have been told twice straightforwardly and also overheard on more than half a dozen times, the exclamation "not enough money, what for live long". But my perception is these retorters tend to be less of a disciplined type as they maintain an unhealthy lifestyle not only of smoking, drinking and overeatinf but also an addiction to outright gambling of "must buy" 4Ds, Toto, football bets, punting horse-racing, etc. <\/p>\n
With due respect, we can stretch our dollar, if we reduce our standard of living a notch or two, by reducing particularly the restaurant food-bills and budget travelling trips as well as putting token bets on the numbers. Another way of stretching our dollar is to seek the now various avenues of investments in increasing our pile, but do temper one’s desire on optimising returns in order to avoid the potentiality of crippling pitfalls. The bottom line is to reduce expectations and instead accomodate contentment.<\/p>\n
Try to be engaged during our awaking hours. Perhaps, some Silverhairs can formed small groups of a van-load or mini-bus full to make twice a week daily excursions to local places or the furtherst to Johore’s Skudai, Kota Tinggi and Kukup-cum-Tanjong Pia(the southernmost Asian landmark). <\/p>\n
Lastly, do keep oneself fit & healthy so that one do not tend to feel quite lethargic almost daily, particularly during the humid afternoon hours. Beleive me, I know of two guys in their early 70s whom due to a healthy lifestlye, is always bright & cheerful plus with a relatively "young romantic heart". In this respect, kindly note it is not my intention to belittle any Silverhairs.<\/p>\n
Regards<\/p>\n
