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.

Fate
New Change Brings a New Great Chance
