Old people saying, when I grow up...

Well I am 43 and starting over again. I cannot do my old job anymore, so I need to learn for a different job. I go to school for that now and I am learning to speak German. ( I live in Berlin) I am asking myself this question for over a month; "What do I want to become?" Security seems like the best job for me, but if my back hurts to much I won't be able to walk. Maybe half day jobs? ect ect. It is strange to be my age and go to school everyday. So, yes I understand it seeming strange, but for me it is reality. hahahha!

Doesn't necessarily mean financial freedom to me, it could just mean that my interests have changed. Or that I've gotten up the courage to do something I was interested in previously but didn't think was possible.

Looking back I never said when I grow up I will .... I never thought in those terms . I either was too youung to do things or deemed too old. When I was told I couldn't do something I never thought it was because of age so when I got old enough to do it , I Still didn't do it. No meant Never to me. I never could se Being anything but myself. But that's what made me think I had to die young. I couldn't answer the question so there was no answer, no future. I see the commerical as a way of telling All of us to go for your dream profession regardless of age. It is a commerical about having enough of money to retire but I think iot is a deeper message than just money. I could be wrong.I still dont have an answer of what I want to do when I grow up. In fact I still don't see anything so i assume I won't grow up!

I suppose that is one question in life that is easy to answer, but difficult to achieve. I wanted to be a designer out of all the other things I wanted to be when I was young till now. I think i have achieved it but not 100%. I wish i am a happy and worry-free designer. I guess the answer to that question changes when your goals in life changes. I now want to be free of financial burdens when i grew up. hopefully i can find the optimum method soon.

yes sadly a lot of us "old" people please use senior citizens are not really well off so we need more money. At my age now I want to finish my writing my book and try to get it published. It would be so much fun to see my work in print for a change and not just gathering dust or moldering away in storage right now. sob sob.
