are you looking forward to retirement?
Do you look forward to the day of your retirement? I know some creative people have great plans about starting their own indie business where they can freely pursue their passions.
We all want to leave all of the day to day work behind and do what we want to do, even if that is working at home in the workshop or in the garden. For most people, retirement is not what was expected. It is not easy to wake up every morning with no where to go and nothing to do. When you work for 40 plus years for eight hours a day, five days a week, getting up and doing nothing is not all it is cracked up to be.
Some people are able to retire and do nothing but sit in the easy chair and watch game shows all day. However, it is these people that most often deteriorate the fastest, both physically and mentally. Many become sick and several die, especially men, within five years of their retirement. Some people chose Life Settlements so that they can receive a lump sum of money for their families or for themselves. Life Settlements are usually chosen by elderlies who want the money for investments, funding children’s plans or leading a better lifestyle. Most importantly, retirement should be enjoyed and planned. Scientists have found that a senior citizen with an active mind and body lives longer than one with a more sedentary state.
