What is life?????

[chestnut]

In our quest for financial freedom, my personal opinion is one should reflect on life....

To me, there is no right or wrong. Today, I hope to tickle the brain...

Let me paint 2 scenarios for you all to ponder on...

Scenario 1.
Person A saves and saves and saves and does not spend and enjoy himself.... He saves to prepare for retirement when he is old.... What if person A saves and saves and suddently kicks e bucket at age 55 without "enjoying" life??? Enjoyment like holiday, pampering oneself, etc...
Do u consider person A wise????
Of course if he lives to 80, he is wise rite????

Scenario 2.
Person B believe one must live life to the fullest and that life is short (yolo). Whatever he earns, he spends and does not prepare for retirement... The shock arrives when he reaches 65 and realizes he does not have any savings as all his earnings has been spent on his little pampering of himself... So how???
Do u consider B wise???
Of course if he kicks the bucket at 50, he is wise rite????

So how the hack do we know how long we will live to???? We all need to take a step back to reflect on what we want and prepare for the future as well...

So, life is about moderation, live life tot he fullest and also remember to prepare for the future and rainy day....

How to achieve that, we all need a plan and it is best to start early....

Food for thought....

Cheers



In our pursuit for financial freedom, please do take some time to pamper yourself and your loved ones and remember to live life like to the fullest and enjoy every moment.... Money is not everything but life is tough without money... So moderate and enjoy life...

I have been pondering the meaning of life myself.

[phantom_opera]

Most important is genetic, u can make an intelligent guess, just look your parents / grandparents, how long do they live? If they live till 80-90, the chances are you are going to live that long too (unless u eat real unhealthy stuff, stay in Beijing where pm2.5 is 400, have many wives etc)

This will also help to decide whether you really need annuity

What is enjoyment? Holiday ? pampering oneself ?

When I do gardening and eat the tomatoes that is enjoyment to me, is that enjoyment to others?

One should so what he/she think he like to do and that is enjoyment.

A man once asked a poor fisherman " Why do you want to fish ?" The fisherman replied" I just enjoy fishing " The man asked him " Do you know fishing can never make you rich!" The fisherman asked " And so ? " The man replied, " You can never be rich doing fishing ! You got to have a plan to be rich. Quit fishing and go and pursue your studies so that you wil have the qualification to get a good job "

"And then what?", asked the fisherman.

The man proudly said, " With a good job, you will earn good money. More than what you can earn by fishing. You slog for a few years , work hard and make money and along the way, you climb up the corporate ladder and become somebody in the company. Then you make a lot of money. With the money, you can buy yourself a nice house. And from one house, you flip and you go and buy even more houses and soon you become rich. And then you can retire and do whatever you want to do! That 's life man! "

The fisherman asked the man. " And what do you want to do when you retire!" The man replied " I will go fishing all day , man! "

" But I am already doing it ", said the fisherman.

Don't have to wait for landed before u can grow tomatoes HDB can grow too...

Tat how I live a happier life, don't have to wait for A before can do B

Don't have to earn 1million before you can retire or don't have to retire only when you reach 65 or don't have to stay big house before can be happy or don't have to drive big car before can smile....

What if the one fine day the fish run out? or mid way throughout life the fisherman suddenly realized he no longer want to fish. but there is nothing else he know to do.

actually there's a big difference between fishing for leisure n fishing for a living..
