Sorry, I'm Scottish, so I'm obsessed with money. How much will your life coverage, even free life insurance, benefit you? If you die they will never pay you. Ertha Kit had the right idea when she sang "If I can't take it with me when I go, I just ain't gonna go" although she faced some problems with the practical application of the idea.
Recent statistics show that 50% of hospital admissions are the result of incorrect medication use by the physician or patient. That means that you can cut down on hospital and doctor expenses by avoiding health care while becoming more healthy. You will be evading the shameful scams run by doctors and drug companies. Their medications are designed to create profitable side effects. For instance, arthritis medication makes your arthritis worse, while hiding the pain on a temporary basis.
High blood pressure is not a disease. It is a symptom, or you might just have high blood pressure from your genes. I have very low blood pressure that is inherited, and my sister has even lower blood pressure, but she still had a heart attack. Warning: if you are on aspirin therapy to avoid heart attacks, you are hooked. When you stop the therapy it is likely to kill you with a heart attack.
Sorry, I got off on one of my hobby horses, but if you avoid the cholesterol scam, and the unsaturated oil scam, and the water fluoridation scam, and the milk pasteurization scam, your doctor's bills will be a lot lower, and your health will be better.
What about boredom? It used to be that men died of boredom when they retired. Now our culture considers that terminal boredom is not an acceptable option.
Memory loss with age: this doesn't exist, unless you get Alzheimer's. It was once believed that memory loss was caused by decreasing numbers of brain cells. Now it is known that both brain cell loss and memory loss are caused by boredom. It is a case of use it or lose it. So how do you combat the problems?
Perhaps you are also obese and have nothing to do more interesting than watching TV? Does getting out the car to drive a mile to the shopping center seem like a waste of time, but you don't want to carry all that weight home with you? Get a shopping cart. Walk down to the shopping center. Load your shopping into your cart. Walk back with it. What problems have you solved?
- It was less boring than driving your car or waiting for a bus.
- The air in your house is loaded with toxins, especially formaldehyde, so you improved your health slightly by breathing cleaner air for a time.
- You also improved your health by getting some exercise, and you have struck a small blow at your obesity.
- Any book about memory improvement that you borrow from your local library will teach you to remember shopping lists. You have got in some practice at remembering lists.
- You have saved money on petrol or bus fares.
Wouldn't it be nice to make money from a home based business just to improve your mind, if you don't need the money? Making money on the internet is easy. Making vast sums of money is more difficult, but small amounts will give you extra incentive to continue your mind development program.
The rule is that the more you force your mind to become active in new fields, the better your thinking and your memory will become. So if you owned a knitting business till you retired, don't just start a knitting business now, because it's just the same boring stuff. However if you have never made a web site, find education in creating websites, then create a knitting small business website and flip it.
That means that you sell the new website as soon as it is profitable. Once that becomes boring, you can learn more about ftp, and pdf, and css, and database display, and rss... the list goes on, but you will not be bored, your memory will improve, your health will improve, and your money will increase.
There are as many ways to solve retirement problems as there are retirement problems, but always judge the way you fix retirement problems by how many other problems you fix at the same time.
