Retirement and Health

Retirement for me is nice giving me time to catch up on the things I was not able to do while working full time.  I am finding out now is the time to keep up with the house work around the home and for me to have the energy to do all this my body need to stay in tune by getting up in the morning and walking first thing in with my pet Bruno which we do every morning when possible.  Sometime before the walk I will go do stairs and walk for thirty minutes on the treadmill.  Then for the rest of the day I am ready to tackle anything of the day.  Exercise is a must for you to keep up all the activities needed for you to stay active.  No gym is needed for you staying in shape and all you need to do is do something physical at least thirty minutes a day for you to build up the need in doing more in the physical world of fitness.  Do it and be happy and out of the hospital.

Enjoying Retirement

On the last blog I wrote dealing with staying busy with doing something proactive and that is benefiting you now and in the future is a plus for your longevity. Something I am working on this year is adding reading into my lifestyle because last year for the year of 2017 dealing with issues with Amazon and EBAY eat up my entire years doing a lot of work.  This year I will still be using both of those platforms and being in the relax mode while doing so.  I will be outsourcing the business for someone else to do the heavy lifting for me while I sit back and enjoy the finer things of life.  Does this mean I will be doing nothing and only sitting on my behind?  Farther from the truth and by hiring out the work mean I will now have more time to spend with family and friends by doing those things I love doing is walking and doing some form of exercising to stay in shape and to lose a couple of unwanted pounds.  Going to movies, working around the house, researching for more business opportunities, going shopping, hiking, walking my pets and I could go on and on for days listing the different activities I will be engage in doing while the work of my businesses is still being taking care and producing profits.  For me that is the name of the game.  When you get to be my age and mid ways of my life it is time to start to enjoy the finer things of life.  The word couch potatoes is not in my vocabulary because while having fun I am still productive and living my life the way I chose to live it and

Staying Busy

Staying busy with your new career of retirement.  Retirement is not all about sitting in front of the TV or fishing for the next 6-12 months and expecting to be happy and healthy for the rest of your life.  For some that just maybe the case but for others like myself that is not the case.  For my I am the type who loves staying busy doing things around the house and to walk my pet Bull Dog for morning and evening walks which for the most part is good for both of us meaning my pet Bruno.  He loves it as much as I do and for my waistline also.  I stayed in the workforce for many years because I am a worker who worked staying at the age of six working on the farm with my family until the age of 21 and joining the US Army for 22 years.  I was a scout meaning in combat we were the first one in and the last one out in the fighting process and I got the opportunity back in 1991 of going off to war and putting those skill to work for me and my crew.  Being in combat arms mean you are a very busy person working on different skill sets and dealing with a lot of people and living in the woods most of the time.  The day I hanged up the uniform did not mean for me that was not the end of staying active and that is what I did by work three jobs and going to school full time.  That was fun or not.  Now that I am fully retired does not in way form or fashion that it is time for me to slow done and let my health start declining on me.  That is the time when you step it up another knot and beginner working even harder is staying in shape and even sometime that will also fail you in ways that you could never imagine.  Meaning that all the wonderful things I done in the military of training hard and being totally demanding on my body finally took it toll later in my life and things started health wise started to affect me physically and mentally and that is why staying busy in life doing productive things will help keep you on your feet.

Retirement

I stayed on the work force for 15 years because I had no ideal what to do after the life of work.  I would listen to some that would say I am going fishing for six months straight and I found out the things that use to be a lot of fun while still working seem like this would keep you business for the rest of your life found out that even doing it now you will get tired of doing it.  Or I will travel the world.  Where would you get the money for the rest of your life to continue to do that?  I will continue to be busy doing the things I love doing and make money at the same time of selling on Amazon and EBAY.  Well just selling items around the house and being happen doing so will cost you money because your buyer already has enough junk and do not need you’re.  Now what?  For you to continue doing this and making your buyers happy and wanting to buy more, then you need supplies having products that you will be able to sell and make real money at the same time.  Now you are making money and your buyers are happy and now you are busy working for yourself and your buyers who some are complaining because the item you sold them is not as described.  Now you have created a nightmare for yourself in catering to someone else need and now you have another job.  The above story is what I have experienced and now know there is a better way to live after the workforce and that is to have a plan and some schedules of things to do that is making an enormous difference in my life and now I am happy and fulfilled.  More on this subject I will be writing about of some to the things I have done and is doing in making my life worthwhile
