LIVING AFTER LEAVING

At the moment, I am too young to be thinking about retirement because I still have a lot of years ahead and all I can think about for most of my future plan is working and making lots of money LOL. But then again, when I think about it, there will be a time I would need to retire and I want to do that after having fulfilled a good part of my life’s goal. First I know I would not want to retire while working for people, I want to do so as my own boss and leave something for the next generation to take over. I want to be able to look at my life’s work and be happy that even though I have become too hold to continue I have left some sort of legacy that can be built upon and that alone would push me into leaving one part of my life behind and moving into another part that would be full of adventures. God willing, I get to have those adventures with the woman I love. If there is one thing I am sure about it is that retirement would make me start doing things I never had the opportunity to do because of work.

In the process of making money, one of the things I will love so much to do is having a plantation. And even though I no longer focus on the business part of my plantation, I know I would love to venture into the working part of it. I have always wanted to have a plantation and have my mansion built near it with lots of gardens to take care of. I want to be surrounded by nature in my old age, and for that I would be doing a lot of planting and harvesting, at least I would have the time. When I am not planting and harvesting, I will be in my garden with the wife of my youth. I hope I have grand kids by then though, and even if I don’t I also would love to be surrounded by kids. To make that happen, one of my dreams is to own a foundation that take kids off the street and offers them a better life, and if I am retired, I would be spending time with those kids…

There is no way in hell I am retiring now because doing so will mean I will have to be dependent on people… This is something I will try to work against now that I am young. There are little things in life that I can’t do even though I wish to, some are even crazy and I don’t know if it’s me just being young and childish. Hopefully I won’t be like that when I am old. Young and childish in the sense that I could leave my house early in the morning to cause a huge traffic… I won’t break the law or anything, just do it in a subtle way LOL. Maybe I will be even more mischievous in old age lol, I mean they say once a man twice a child right, and I was really mischievous as a child LOL. For sure I won’t cause harm to no one, just do things I can laugh about with my kids and grand kids.
