Yea just in case you walk away thinking I am on top of the world everyday (after reading the last post). First of all you may face an identity crisis when you are not holding a job.
See when you need to state your occupation, it has to be either housewife or retiree. I once put "investor". The guy processing the form asked me to fill in company name. "err...but i invest my own money" "Oh do you mind if I put it as housewife" I said ok but I muttered I don't spend much time keeping house.
It does not help with all the recent government propaganda suggesting it is better to die on the job than die bankrupt and tortured with dementia (if one retires too early i.e.). Gosh so sad, used to be in the seventies and eighties our ex colleagues retired at 55 gracefully and happily. Now you feel guilty and unsure if you don't stick to the statutory retirement age of 62 (or is it 67? lost count , keeps moving)
Yea and then there is media flooding about how medical cost can wipe out everything bla bla bla. So drab, can't even let people enjoy their last fruitful years. But of course medical insurance is a must lah.
SO, one way to avoid all these duress is to see whether a second career is possible, hopefully something you really enjoy doing.
