It’s not so long anymore before I turn the big 4-0! Ahuh, and I’ve been starting to think about my future (me and hubby), my kids future (their education, etc.)…so in short, financial stability would be one major concern I have to face. And with this I was asking myself for how long will I be able to be at my strongest and healthiest where I can still work and earn money for us to achieve the stability to live a normal life.
So I observed some of the friends’ parents, relatives and even my own parents as well, to check their concerns during this stage of their lives. My realization is that different people … different approaches on planning for their retirement. (Yup, you read it right. Retirement - that’s what they call it.) Hmmm, I never thought that I’m already thinking about my retirement … (hahaha … am I really getting old?).
In the Philippines, the normal retirement age is at 60. But to the Americans, it is between the ages of 55 to 70. I believe that even beyond your 60th year, you can still work and be productive. So why, put a mark or dictate as to when you have to stop working. Anyways, the law is still a law. But what I really want to do before I even reach my “retirement age” I want to visit the United States of America. Yup, you heard it right … that’s one of my biggest dreams. Not to work there, but for a grand vacation. I want to go to Disneyland and visit Mickey Mouse(which by the way near Port Saint Lucie real estate) ... so am thinking of visiting Port Saint Lucie, go to Hollywood, visit the Big Apple - New York it is and a lot more nice places to see there.
So maybe I have to start saving for this vacation, eh?
