Today i just think of my childhood time, my current life and my future...
I asked myself how is my life when i am 60? what will i do when i am in retiring age? Hmm, at that time, i don't need go to work everyday, so it may so boring if do nothing whole day. I am imagining that I may care an orchid because i like orchid flowers so much. I should plant many orchid types in my garden. But if only like that, i still have much free time in a day. Then i may attend the class to study painting pictures. I like to paint since i was a kid but right now i don't have much time and money for that hobby also. And one more, i will care 10 cats and 10 dogs, i love pet so much but currently i can care 1 cat only.
Ermh, currently plant orchid, paint pictures and care pets are what i will do when i am in retiring age. And how about u?

I would like to live an active life when I get retired. I would like to take classes and listen to lectures about topics that I am interested in, not because I have to pass an exam, but just because I enjoy learning new things.
I would also like to get involved in some kind of voluntary work when I am retired. Many senior citizens in my country help out in the second hand shops. I don't know if I want to do voluntary work in a second hand shop, but there are plenty of other kinds of voluntary work that we can get involved in. I have always been interested in voluntary work and when I am retired I will have lots of time for those things. I might become one of the people who visit lonely people in their homes on a voluntary basis. I always wanted to do that, but I don't have the time to do it at the moment.
If I have the money I would also like to travel a lot when I am retired. I am sure that there are still many places that I have haven't visited at that time, so I would like to spend a lot of time on that if it is possible.

Thank you so much for your sharing.
You have such nice ideas for your retiring life. You enjoy learning new things, it is very good. I used to meet many tired woman going to class for learning French. They said that, they have plenty of free time then they just wanna to learn new language even though it is not easy for them at that age anymore because it is hard to memorize.
I like to travel too, then at that time, if i have much money, i also wanna travel, at least go to visit 1~2 places in a year. But i am a bit afraid that at retiring age, I still have enough health for going far or not...:)
To do voluntary work is a nice idea also. Honestly i don't want to be lazy at retiring age, then I will find any nice activity to participate in.

Plannings are must for the future. Planning must be done on the basis of our savings. Savings are very important and necessary to satisfy our likes. So i will save my part of the income fort my future. So that i can live myself without depending on others.

Yes, it is very good when you do save for your future. However, in here i just share i will do some of my hobbies that i haven't done now yet such as, caring a lots pet, plant many types of orchid, learn to paint also when i am in retiring age....
Assuming that you retired already and you have much too much free time in a day, what do you wanna do?
