All I can say about retirement is that it is something that you need to plan from young, assuming there is no big inheritance or winning toto along the way. financial sustainability is one thing, what to do after retirement while not getting into a situation of feeling worthless or sense of loss, feeling fullfilled or at least staying happy.

Haha..for me, I do a lot of online courses, from coding python to AI , from digital marketing to design thinking courses. I love learning and all those online learning platforms (coursera, edx, linkedin learning, etc) are like candies to me. Now I got a bunch of certifications, much more than my working days ...my friends think I am a bit crazy.😄 Edited August 24, 2022 by Starry 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think u hit the nail in the head. One of the key things many people fail to appreciate is what to do after retirement, most people seems so fixated about the financial portion they forgot about the emotional well being portion. A family member of mine got into depression after being forced into early retirement due to the sudden “loss of authority and sense of purpose” i suspect. The other problem he is struggling with is health. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share business/work experience by providing consultation to startups / career advises to younger ones. I like the no 9. It is also a way to keep one occupied and pay it forward by sharing decades long of working experience and helping others. Being a mentor to the younger execs. is not a bad idea too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiaghosts.com I read the link - https://asiaghosts.com/stock-market-will-crash-o A shaman called Aroy said that the stock market will crash on 21 October 2022. A lot of people will lose their jobs and livelihoods. It is likely true based on previous occasions of stock market crashes. Sharing the news ahead of time because I do not want people to suffer. Read the article for more details. Oh wonderful, i love to see people lose their jobs and livelihoods. Better 31 Aug lah, no need 21 Oct. but this is the wrong thread for this, so buzz off Edited August 25, 2022 by Throttle2 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
