how to don't spend money and enjoy during retirement

frenchbriefs · Feb 29, 2016

u make retiring in singapore sound so wonderful.

anybody can retire in singapore and have a wonderful enjoyment time without spending any money in singapore if their idea of retirement is sitting on the park bench day after day gazing blankly into space,feeding wild pigeons in the park,with a small pocket transistor radio blasting 1960s mando pop.or sitting outside the barbershop talking about beh pio and reminiscing about the nanyang coolie farmer days of singapore or sitting in front of a stone table playing chinese chess.

I still could not fathom about retirement if I cannot sell enough screws each day, its a daily struggle.

I buy a couple of screws every week. Each screw costs me NZD195 for unlimited shots.

Partial or full quiting sg I think is good also but personally I find it link to our social circles and families. If I go alone to a.better place may end up lonely there lor.

Aren't we talking about retirement? Children are grown up & likely to be busy with work & their own families. If you stay in Spore you will likely end up as one of those senior citizens hanging around the coffee shops, void decks,...

If you leave Spore you will have more space to explore, healthier environment, slower pace of life,...

Had a friend who got his Canadian PR & plans to sponsore his parents when his father retired from his teaching position in Spore. His father is quite bitter about the PAP & the move out of Spore will be much healthier for him. In his case, once he becomes a Canuck he will be able to withdraw ALL of his CPF. Just imagine getting all that money & re-investing it & getting a better return :biggrin:

In my opinion there are more reasons to leave Spore than to stay in Spore. Even LKY would often go on his overseas trips :wink:

leongsam type of screws can also be made into lamb chop or lamb stew. That's the difference.

No need to-do list like working. Learn to enjoy doing nothing.

He was probably bored to death. The key is to ENJOY doing nothing. And the link I provided earlier is "10 Ways to Enjoy Doing Nothing". Alternatively, find a hobby that you enjoy and need little money.

my dad passed away and he didn really enjoy much for his life.
seldom/never went oversea trip.

but he brought me up, gave me foods and education , the best.

he win respect and love from everyone in our family.

i think this is the meaning of his life, forever in our heart.

that is why, i always think life is not about how much enjoyment, is about how much you give to others(family) or how much others value you.
