I continue working for myself after assisting others ( employers) to capitalize on my work ethics.
Since I retired I am the sole creator of my future endeavors.
I have NOT stopped learning anything that I am interested in by using online Courses such as Domestika that are multi language enabled and have very cheap course fees.
It offers me to take it where ever I choose to tap into that training video plus because it involves so many countries I get to engage in discussions or not, my choice.
I thoroughly enjoy my retirement and thus direct my energies on completing MY goals systematically going through a “bucket list” of sorts.
As to the “Why did I make the decision I made?”.
Because after slogging through life doing for others and overworking myself to the extent that I inadvertently harmed my body from over working.
Fortunately I healed after taking a medical leave for 18 months to recover, that afforded me the time to think about WHAT I REALLY WANT IN LIFE.
I retired on a Pension and live in a subsidized apartment and LOVE the freedom to carve out my life as I see best for me.
