Good that you don't worry too much about things.
It is the worry factor that creates the stress.
My burnouts came because I laid sleepless at night worrying about how I was going to keep the Papillon charity going.
Worry is sure poison.
Blessings!
I hope your charity is getting on well, now that SBD payment is happening again and Steem is on the rise, it might be easier to find donations around here soon. I can imagine it is stressful. I hate reading about my company in the news these days, 9 out of 10 times it is bad news.
Thank you and we are indeed doing better from my posts my friend.
Always sad to read bad things about one's company especially if you are a good worker and know that it might affect your future.
But you are clever enough to start your own thing!
Blessings!
Thanks. I'm not too worried. The package on offer is decent and I would definitely take it if offered to me, but I'm not in that position. Retirement in Korea generally happens at 55 to 60 and getting a good job after around 45 years old is really difficult. Most people start-up small businesses and around 90% never turn a profit so people are actually best off to just take up a cheap hobby or a minimum wage job. My plan would be to farm :)
Over here the low earners go onto a government pension which cannot sustain them and they suffer. I am slowly closing in on 70, but I will never retire.
Your plan to farm is great as it is necessary to do what you love after 60.
I chose charity work simply because it makes me happy to help poor people.
Whether you get the job or not should not matter as you are clever enough to make your own way!
Blessings!
Korea was still a developing country without proper social support systems when a lot of people now in their late 60s and older were in their productive years. Some of them didn't pay enough into the national pension or save enough to have a decent retirement. So I see many old people doing simple jobs like collecting cardboard for recycling or selling vegetables on the street near the subway. Hauling cardboard is hard work anytime, but I think when it isn't too hot or cold, selling vegetables isn't all that bad. Ideally, it would be best if the state could take care of everyone, but it seems there is never enough money.
So my plan is to find something I really enjoy doing that maybe pays a little less during that time to have something to do whether I need the money or not.
Oh yeah and it is the same over here. Some of the old people have so little money that they buy and eat pet food every day. What really gets me is the children that dump their parents, as we work with many of those old souls.
You are right as how do you haul cardboard when you are 70+ years old?
Selling vegetables when everyone else is doing the same can certainly not bring in much money. So sacrifices in old age becomes the norm.
I think and international law must be created.
Every person that has a parent should pay a percentage of their monthly income into the bank account of their parents.
Sort of like an international support tax.
The governments will then have enough money to care for those that do not have any children.
Glad that you got the message to care for yourself when you are old my friend.
Blessings!
