What are the ways to achieve contentment in your retirement years?

[Alexandoy]

For the retirement years you need to have the following:

1) A home of your own that would spare you of the worries on the monthly rent. You will have the luxury of freedom in doing your thing.

2) Enough money for the household and your personal expenses. It is good to have a pension, big savings or even a business for a regular income. You can spend for your desires especially for the food. You also have peace of mind regarding health issues.

3) Companions at home. For the unmarried you can hire a companion whether a housemaid, a driver or a day caregiver. Living alone would give you unnecessary stress.

4) The desire to travel. As much as your health permits you should travel to give color to your life. Enjoy the world while you still can.

Retirement means you are too old to work. In my home country, 60 years is the retirement age. However, if you are very healthy even when you are retired from a job, you can continue to work. My father retired when he was 60 but he continued to work for 5 more years.
