Jeff Goldblum

One day, I watched "Holy Man," a movie starring Eddie Murphy, where he played a "holy man" the sale of a home shopping network. It's a funny movie and informative and I enjoyed the antics of the two comic Eddie Murphy and Jeff Goldblum. Who can forget the tea all the "wrong Eddie Jeff to drink?" What was really in that tea? Apart from all the comics in the film, a quote from Eddie Murphy, played with "G" said " Sixty-five years. How much time if you're lucky. Sixty-five years. Sixty-five winters. Sixty-five Springtime. Sixty-five summers. seventy-five autumns. When you look at it like that, it is not much time is it? do not waste them. "

This quote is going a long way when it comes to my understanding of retirement. How will the law? Work until you're 65 1 / 2? I've always been curious to know why the six extra months, but rather than let's go political math.

Take a look at the CIA World Fact Book . An online resource filled with all kinds of facts on almost every country in the world. This was taken from the section of the United States:

I worked since I was 18. Only in the last few years, at the age of 25 years, I started to get their hands on my personal finances. So from 25 to 65, I'm at work until retirement to survive the last 10 years of my life. This is not too well with me. Working for 40 years of my life to rest for the other 10? The calculation is wrong somewhere.

I was therefore urgently forcing me to develop entrepreneurship and dreams to build businesses where if I'm at work for the next 40 years of my life, it will be the only person I really want to work for myself.

20. This is the maximum amount of time, I work for a company. I hope to work less, but I give myself 20 years older. Until then, I have my own online business and investment to where I provide for me. The amount of work I put in the show by the amount of income that I produce, and not based on a treatment by a conglomerate. Do not get me wrong, I love the most "aspects of my work. I love the work I do, I love the freedom that we have partial, but not enough for me. I want to be able to call my own shots, my hours, my own paychecks, more importantly, my own retirement. 40? Too long for me. Heck, 20 years is too long, but doable. But to keep the mathematical function for only 10 years of my life rotting in old age is not an option for me.

Also consider this, the old adage "work brings stress. Heart attacks, exhaustion, stress, depression, physical symptoms are all people in this country who have overworked their whole life away to sit and rot for the rest of their years. Sorry if this sounds cruel, but the numbers do not lie.

Also consider this, I do not seem contradictory, but the U.S. is the best place to find a job. No other country offers such employment benefits to their employees that the United States. paid holidays and vacation, holidays, bonuses, raises, medical and dental insurance, retirement plans and actions of the business, labor, and a "sense" of job security, even surpassing the Most wage rate country. Some items may not experience all these benefits, some may have even more, but we are one of the few countries to try to take care of our employees. But is it enough for you?

For many, yes it is enough. In fact, I had this exact same discussion with my mother. She says she loves her job and wakes up and ready to go every day and he can not see.
