Subra,

following are golden statements from you

“Retirement is expensive, EARN it only then will you deserve it.”

“In real estate one has to DEAL and NOT invest to make money”

“America loves democracy so much that they want to keep it all to themselves”

Hi subra,
You have pointed out some good tips for retirement. I know some very old people from computer industry do this. They joined some forums and keep answering questions from newbies. They can earn very well if they work(may be forums pay them! i don’t know). Sadly all are Foreign people(US and Europe). When I read this post, they came to my mind.

I’m on two writing groups.
On one group, internetwritingworkshop.com, the oldest person on my practice list is a young and smart as hell 90-year old. This exposure seriously turns all our preconceived notions of old age and retirement upside down.

All these things are indeed part of your philosophical approach of living in the present, and not for a very distant unknown future. But the way you have ‘interwoven’ them with planning for retirement makes it very practical and easy to understand. Thanks again.

sir,
it is ‘botox’ but obviously you would be knowing nothing about it!

there is a site named ‘coursera ‘ that offers nice free online courses in various subjects. they are good too.

Nice one , Subra– Iam 60 & though I call it a Sabbatical , it is actually my retirement.

I love going back again to Transcendental Meditation ( TM),

Joined a PG course ( online + contact programme)in Family Medicine & Geriatric Medicine,

Taking great interest in Financial Planning–rather too late for me–but may be useful to plan for my entrepreneur son.

Give strategic business advice to him — though , I believe, no successful entrepreneur son has made it good in business listening to his senile father !

Looking to work for an NGO — in Healthcare. Last 07 months have been great & hope the future remains this way.
