  • Aging Alone

    Ever wondered who would you want to grow old with? Your friends, your siblings, your offsprings, your spouse?

    There is no dearth of options. As economies start aging, formalized old age resorts would be a viable option for those who can afford. Ofcourse state-run welfare programs rarely target this age group, except for retirement pension schemes which already weigh down the government’s balance sheet. But besides the maths and economics of it all, the social and psychological tangent is also an aspect to ponder. Would you be open to embracing new faces in your silver years?

    Or is it enough to have just I, me, myself for vibing and slaying these post-retirement years? So that you can spend time the way you want, structure your life around your own priorities and live unhinged. With great freedom may come greater loneliness, so be prepared to welcome the silence and the solitude as a blissful change in your life!

  • Now or Never

    Whatever your mode of work; stay wary of the propoganda that retirement is the period to fulfill one’s dreams. I am fully supportive of retirement but since life is here & now why wait. Rather live your dreams today onwards.

    A lot of our time (& resources) would be drained by the time we turn 60 – loss of muscoskeletal strength, cognitive alertness and even finances which would have been aptly spent in raising a family. One thing in plenty would be time at hand and the will to spend it your own way; but the folks to spend it with maybe handful, or sadly even none 💔

    Let’s start living our passions, dreams, hobbies and endeavours from today. Better start a 10% today than wait a 100% for later!
