What do you do in your spare time?

Do you keep secrets from your wife?

Are you worried about retirement?

I play MJ with my kids or meet my bros for drinks.

also do some slow jogging to keep the health in check…

I’m worried about retirement: what to do with my free time?

 

[sparespares]

I was actually a lousy investor so you’re asking the wrong guy.

but one of the key strategy for me - I live well within my means .

also, I topped up my CPF very early.

 

[sparespares]

Your son finded a jod already ma?

no, he has not.

think he wants to join MOE as he realises that he likes teaching…

that doesn’t answer the question on what to do with the time!

honestly, I’m also learning on this.

but , the only advice I can give, don’t just focus on the finances, think about social and your health too…

Cannot, because old men don’t eat buffet anymore…

I remembered one key discussion: settle your stomach before pursuing your passion. Otherwise, you may end up spending more time to settle your stomach rather than your passion in later years…
