Retire already… then what?

[Jeremy1]

If I retire, I want to try double workout sessions. Morning/evening runs, with gym in between some of the days.

Only if your body still can take it

It is hard to do it here with the land scarcity. The stress of making enough money to cover the rental and operating expenses will outgrow any satisfaction you might get from doing that.

yes, rental is a killer, i have the idea of just doing a small business from morning to 3pm with selling West + East Coffees/Teas and light morning food like Rotis ( egg mayo, tuna, ham cheese)


partner will be the one taking order and me is the one preparing the drinks and rotis( or my grand kids)
in the ideal world that is my end game but sadly is not

My religion says 人生就是修行
Uni professional says 人的一生就是玩

icic, for me is just trying to be useful till the end i guess

Go work pt to save for trips....

 

[Sauron]

Really meh? Retired still MUST find a purpose to live on??? Simi joke. wow. like that retire also very tired... everyday must look out for "purposeful plan".

I don't think need some grand purpose, just fill your time with meaningful activities to you

 

[Sauron]

Propaganda to influence people to keep working. Xiao eh find me 1 person who is "disoriented" after retiring I can easily find another 1000 sinkies who ready to retire today and jiak hong if finances permit.

No nid jiak hong, to have full control of your time is already a luxury

 

[Cowbellc]

Retired for many years already. Never once had a thought of going back to work.

Wow. Can retire in sg. Gxgx
If u own merits switch off before age 40, hats off to u.

Like the $1 icecream uncles? Their trade also going extinct soon

At the same time, work can also be a genuine source of purpose.

Many teachers, healthcare workers, engineers, business owners and parents derive meaning from the impact they create through their work.

Unfortunately this is the exception and not the norm.

The problem with the modern economy is work is now highly specialised, workers tend to not see the fruits of their labour, we are just cogs in the machinery.

I had what many would consider a "nice career" but I chose to retire last year because I dun need the money from my job anymore. Never looked back, never missed my job and all the toxic office politics that came with it.

Its been nearly 2 years, I spend most of my time reading, traveling and I get infinitely more satisfaction, meaning and purpose from volunteering.

there are some that says that life is about gaining new experiences, be it good or bad. I quite believe in this. because different thinking / religions has different take on good and bad. only experiences are more objective. so go out there and live new experiences instead of just lay there and do the same things day in and out.

Portable coffee stall
Yes these good old days, childhood time are fading away as time move forward

Yeah it depends, for me, complete retirement makes the most sense since I want to build my life around sports. Primarily doing full time running

May not necessarily improve health and longevity.

Pay money lah.

Pay money lah.

Yeah I get what you mean, but I am not so interested in longevity, I want performance. If the goal is longevity, then the standard 150 minutes of vigorous activity per week is more than sufficient

 

[Lchlch]

i am working towards retirement at 65 if....and if coy needs me, will work till 70.

In pursuit of performance, you must balance the risks of injury also.

You know as you age, your body is likely to degrade. Just a matter of rate of degradation.
