RETIREMENT


After the sojourn of earning live
Because of family and fixed goals strive
This better or even best life after retirement
Some would not stop for more entitlement.

Monthly pension ensuing is less or not enough
And because body is still capable why stop
Others would find it already taxing for the body
So will live enjoying with a passion or hobby.

For many life after retirement is still about working
Not due to their needs but mainly because of doing
Desiring to make themselves as active as a doer
They live alone in the house so what else is there.

I met a person recently at his age of 78 still teaching
For 51 he spent his life teaching and coaching
Now he feels he needs stop time to live life fully
His body may not take more will not say admittedly.

His worry is what to do when he stops his passion
Deep within he cannot part with such dedication
Each time he trained developed sports champions
Without time for family he was left all on his own.

Why there are some who will need to work more
They truly see their future in home care support
In the west they leave their oldies in senior homes
In my country for seniors it's still home sweet home.

would you believe i went on semi-retirement at age 50? my kids saw through the hardships i went through, that when they started earning at a very early age, they asked me to stop an 8-5, M-S work, so I can concentrate on the house..but i never was a full-time housekeeper, i decided to have a business and also went into consultancy jobs

i don't know how to say this but i find social security in north atlantic somewhat low or that the standards of computation is unjustified, compared to the no. of years worked for and based on the last salary one had..in our philippines, computation is based also on the no. of years serviced but the last salary has a great bearing on how much one should receive monthly...please correct me if am wrong...
