Retirement

Retirement.
The Reaosn for us working so Hard?
The Reason for us worrying so Much?

Been discussing with friends lately.
Reminding them,
Although Retirement once was a Progression,
(e.g. play, work, retire...die!)
It's now a Priviledge...
And only for a few!

Espeically in the Current WWIII,
Every government starts changing Game Rules,
From OZ to UK,
Lifting the Retirement Age,
Claiming it's for your Own Good!!

So, No More Retirement at 65.
Now, some change to 66,
Aiming at 70 in time.
Just look at UK, 'The Times'
25 June Headline,
'Retirement Age May be Raised...
Every five years.'

Perhaps, one should start to think,
Retirement is NOT about,
Out of Employment;
Or,
NOT Worrying about Payment.
But more about 'Enjoyment',
'Enjoy the 15/30/60-minute Moment' every day.

Retirement = Retire from Busy Moment.

50

Was in HK playing Majong with 'Old' Friends.
Friends that have known for 25 years.
When we're at (UK) Essex University together.

One mentioned about celebrating 50th birthday!
Not now, but in a few year time.
I joked to buy him a present.
One out of the following 3 choices,
Walking Stick, Wheel Chair or Hearing Aid!

50, a Magical Number.
HK was promised to have,
'50 years of Continuity of current Lifestyle'

50, also shows us the worrying trend.
There is NO Tomorrow....
If one does NOT work Exceptionally Hard Today.
Because there could be NO retirement.

In 1950, 7 working people for 1 retiree.
In 2050, it will be.....
1.3 working people for 1 retiree.

Have you not noticed for the last decade,
There have been many debates on retirement?
Strongly recommend people to retire Later,
To keep their Body & Mind working Better,
To pass on their Skill,Knowledge Better etc.

So, over the years, governments been selling..
Concept of Retirement Age at 70.

Especially at a time,
When Greedy Bankers sold Faulty Products,
When Plenty of Developed Countries are 'Bankrupt',
When one Crisis coming after another Crisis.

So, we are not only looking at Political Changes,
Not only Economic Changes etc.
But....Social Changes.

Globalisation

Unbelievably busy lately.
From OZ to HK then to UK.
4th time to arrive UK.
Starting Life's another New Page.

Globalisation.
To the low-paid staff,
It = 'Exploitation' (of humans)

To the high-powered CEO,
It = 'Maximisation' (of profits)

To me, it = 'Mobilisation'
Proactively looking everywhere in this world,
For a Better Opportunity.
So, I did it a few times,
Moving from one place to another.

To be Better Off Financially,
Mentally and as a Family.

Globalisation also = Education.
Better Education helps one to be More Global,
More & Different Solutions for various Challenges.

Did I not say the Best Investment is...


People?

I returned UK for my children.
Helping them to become More Global.
