So You Want To Live?

My nephew has just retired aged 55 ... That's a smart lad eh.

He has bought a home in Southern Europe and a second elsewhere & plans to move leisurely between them.

- When I was employed I assumed responsibilities in 'Health & Safety'  & accident investigation and learned that  shift work shortens your life on average by 10 years (.. this was naturally matched by employers resisting all shift work payments and conditions).

The latest findings from Actuarial studies in US strongly indicate that on average retirees at 65 only draw their pensions there for 17-18 months - whereas drop-outs at 55 continue to function for a further 20 years.

“Ten working years could cost you twenty years of your Retirement!”

- Don't accept my words .. do your own research, starting here:

Now I don't wish to suggest that our politicians are liars .. but of course they are. - When they propose raising retirement ages - claiming that they can no longer afford to pay state pensions at 65 because we are living longer, they are liars .. they are hoping that you haven't noticed the reductions in corporate taxation over recent decades.

Our "leaders" (politicians) direct us onto paths that make them richer .. not us.

Are they making money?

- Do you realize that currently the top 3 U.S Billionaires are worth MORE than half the population of US put together? (That's 166 MILLION Americans).

.. For your own extended health and security .. retire early and take-up a martial art for fitness - and join your local target shooting club. - Find a decent caring medical doctor to look after you.

.. Ah -  56 million people die worldwide every year from all causes .. that's around 154,000 deaths every day. - People live longer in countries with higher incomes.
