Retirement

     Retirement is totally different than in the past. My mother is hardly to retire at 70 years old, because she loves mingling with people and rambling around any places. She can choose to work or not to work, not because she has to, but she is willing to earn more for her needs. There is nothing can define as the retirement age. It may fluctuate by country’s economic stability.

    As a worker in Taiwan, the mandatory retirement age is 65 years old but you should not be forced to retire unless disability to perform his or her duties. If I want to retire at the earlier ages, I must have worked over 25 years. I am afraid to be bored after retirement. I have a higher opportunity to meet the goal to retire at 55. Usually, I will end our career based on how steadily you have been employed and your healthy status, particularly after 55 years old. I always tried to do the work my boss requested. Learning how to work in effective and essential ways and keep curiosity in learning new things. I always enjoyed what I did as always, which meant fun at work, better output, better paycheck. I can make some meaning contributions, stay busy at something. Many are still working into their 60’s or 70’s, it is an enormous change for them. I was lucky that I didn't have the child and over 20 years in the service industry. If I have made a lot of money, I will spend my rest of my time doing charity works especially in improving the lives of stray dogs or cats and abandoned animals. I do not mind if I stay in the city or in the rural place, no matter the places or income, but I intend to look for another job, I just want to find my values of work-life balance.
