Don’t Worry
By Patrick M. Kennedy | April 7th, 2014

When you are about to retire there are so many things to think about … so many things to think about … so many things to think about. But there are only two things that you have to think about, and that must be evaluated and considered sorta important; your health and your finances. Now that narrows it down to an unworkable mess of problems that must be handled, or else. But then again; “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere,” said the athlete Glenn Turner. Worry is to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. Fretting gets you nowhere, so it is best to get out of that rocking or easy chair and act.

“What, me worry!” was the famous quote by the speaker for Mad Magazine, Alfred E. Neuman. It is an interrogatory, indicative of a nonchalant attitude towards potential criticism, not caring about what other people think, confident and self-possessed. That’s OK about some things, but retirement?

Many seniors wear rose-colored glasses when they plan for the future, and they need to begin viewing retirement more realistically. They seem to think dreaming about the good life is the path to reality. When they stop working, their major sources of income dry up. And as they get older, it is obvious that their health will deteriorate to some degree. So why are so many people underestimating the difficulties of retirement? It is best to plan for these two problems while still working and have a good income.

1. And you can always turn that shopping cart upside-down, with a tarp over it, for shelter.

Seriously? What part of living paycheck to paycheck do the rich not understand?

2. Yes, that's the problem

That so many of the rich don't understand how life is for everyone else.
