Too much time or not enough?

One of the concerns in approaching retirement is often having too much time on our hands.

What will we do?

But do we allow ourselves to think about not having enough time and to act accordingly?

I don’t mean that we have so many trips, activities and social engagements that we can’t do all the things we want to do in a day, week or even month.

I’m talking about the years.

My birthday is coming up on Saturday, and I’m attending a funeral to support a friend this afternoon. These experiences have me thinking about time.

In the last few years, I have known too many people work hard and die too young.

I want to help people to create the retirement they choose, which may still include some paid work, to make the most of the next stage of life, because none of us know how much time we have.

So, what are you putting off that you want to do while you can?

Don’t wait until everything is perfect.

I’m all for planning and saving, it’s something I do myself and help others to do.

But if you have unfulfilled potential as an artist or a prize pumpkin grower or have a life-long ambition to visit Irazú Falls in Argentina/Brazil, you can find a way to do it.
