Retirement, will that even be an option? Especially for someone my age now and for when I reach an age where my bones creak, my muscles ache, my body crumbles beneath me… Oh wait, I’m in my mid 30’s and my body is already like that due to illnesses… But I very much doubt that by the time I reach 65/70 years of age that there will be any hope for anyone to retire let alone myself. They keep upping the retirement age, but yet we are still expected to pay into a retirement fund that to be honest, I will be lucky to see.
My nanna paid into retirement funds her whole life, paid taxes on the money she paid in, and now as a single widow she is taxed once again on the money she receives as a ‘So called’ Pension. She receives no pension credit because she is a few pence over the threshold, yet looses that threshold with the tax to pay, it’s daylight robbery against the elderly in this country. They have worked their whole lives and should by rights be able to rest and enjoy the end of their days… Yet the corrupt world sets out to punish the peasant humans until they drop.
But… I digress…
If I get to retire (Unlikely) but if I do… Well… I would just like to write. I love writing now but I would love to continue to write, to publish and sell books, to write things I have experienced through my lifetime, for anyone, someone to read if they are interested. Yes I do write now, but I’m not exactly retired, I still have things to do, work to do that takes up some of my time and my focus. But my dream would be to retire, write more books and go on holidays!!! Lots and lots of holidays. I’m a Sagittarius and I do have a natural tendency to want to travel and to see the beauty of the world we frequent for such a short space of time. But, as of yet the UK is the place I see, I have yet to travel on a plane, I have yet to experience a true holiday abroad… But that is what I want to do, travel and write… If of course my body isn’t too forsaken and broken to do so. If not it will probably be sitting with Mildred and Mercy in Sunny Acres care home and loosing our minds together…
