A pot of gold at the end of every worker’s rainbow…this is how some of us see retirement. How about the most of us? Will there be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Truly, talking about the retirement gives me goose bumps. Will our daughter take care of us when we retire? Our daughter is a very sweet, kind, caring and loving person but her traits are not assurance that she will take care of hubby and me because she is going to have her own family and life. Besides, we don’t want to be her burden. What hubby and I want is to harvest that pot of gold and make the most of our retirement. But how can we do that?

I’m grateful that retirement here is included sa tax we pay…though I’m not sure if I’d be happy to stay here or go back home…still, saving up for when we’re older is always a good thing.
I want to read this book too
yes, it’s better to save early even with little amount and you’ll be amazed how it grow without you even noticing it, save for the rainy days or in this case, retirement days 🙂
Interesting book, i wonder if we can get an ebook for this one 😀
Yeah, Retirement saving is hard. Why should I save when I can spend my money now? I can use the money to buy new clothes, tickets to shows, eat out, and many other fun things. Hahaha… well that’s not cool since we have to get financial security for the future. Thanks for posting this one. Really learned a lot.
Looks to be an interesting book! Please share what you learn to us 🙂
I hope there is a similar book catered for the Philippine context.
Like you this has been on top of my research list. We have to make wise investment and savings for our future so that we won’t live a pauper life and bet on lotteries when we grow old. hehe.:)
whee.. parang ilike that… tas samahan mo ba ng pagbasa ng rich dad poor dad… the best yun!
