Do you want to RETIRE IN 5 years or less?
Global bank HSBC's latest edition of 'The Future of Retirement Healthy New Beginnings study' found that 61 per cent of the working population in India aged 45-plus want to retire in the next five years with the majority saying work-related pressure is affecting their financial, mental and physical health. 43 per cent would like to retire in the next five years to spend more time with their family, 34 percent want to travel and pursue other interests and 20 percent want to pursue another career or do voluntary work (Read attached picture).
If you are 45 or older, you may be one in the 61% who wants to retire in next 5 years. You don't have to be 45 to feel that way. I felt the need to "retire" when I was 28 working in the corporate world as a Mechanical Engineer/IT Consultant.
Retirement does not mean retirement from LIFE it means retiring from the day to day drudgery of going to work for making a living. Within 4 years of working a job I realized that my dream of doing meaningful work and living a fulfilling life will not become a reality. My faith in the corporate world was shattered and I grew concerned about working another 40 years in the corporate world...40 more years!!!!
That led me to open my eyes to alternate ways of making money other than a job and I started studying successful people. By definition, I was successful - college degree, post-graduate degree, nice job, good title, car, apartment, etc. But there was something missing. During the course of my search for a more fulfilling life, I was fortunate to have been introduced to my mentor who taught me many things. He taught me that being successful in life is a good start but want one should seek is a significant life. If success is winning, significance is helping other people win. He also taught me was the importance of economic freedom. Unless you are economically free, you are not personally free. These basic truths changed my life forever.
Along with my job, I got started in my own business. through the help of my mentors built a successful business that helped me become financially free.
It does not surprise me that the new HSBC survey found the truth - that people are living a life of quite desperation. They are concerned and anxious of a very uncertain future.
You cannot solve the problem by just getting more traditional education (MBA, etc) and looking for a better job. That's digging a hole, deeper.
I can show you a way to create an alternate source of income without disturbing your job/profession that will secure your future and help you live a happier and healthier life.
Contact me only if you are dead serious about retiring in less than 5 years. I can show you an alternate to 9-5 till 65. I started my own business at 28 and became financially independent in my 30s.
