Have you planned Retirement? I'm glad to say no.
#mondaymotivation - Live now. Retirement is a con.
A bit Counterintuitive? Yes.
Since my early 20s, retirement is not something I have ever looked forward to.
Why?
To have a pot of gold, to support your deferred "happy" period of inactivity?
Something that may never happen, or that you never enjoy.
Financial planning? Yes. Retirement planning? No.
Life planning, Yes.
For a happy today. And a happy tomorrow? Yes.
The thing is, do you want someone else to choose what those look like?
Every day during the best years of your life?
People think there is no choice. I need money to live. Yes.
You can choose, what you do "today" and what that, happier tomorrow looks like.
Work hard? Yes. 4 hours or 40 hours.
The difference is you decide. You design it. Own it.
Decide What you love, When you like, Where you like, and with Whom you like.
Some of the How, can be found in Tim's book.
Whilst I don't recommend anyone give up their day job, and go break neck speed into Tim's book. I do recommend reviewing it for useful tips, on how to streamline lifestyle costs. Maybe increase your income too.
