"You can choose this or you can choose that".
|
"You can choose this or you can choose that". In life we have choices, but imagine we only have two choices for everything. Which one would you choose? First one: You work for a company, you started young. So you 55 years old. You retire, granted you made $30 an hours, for example. So you retire from a job paying $30 and hour to work for a job making $15 an hour, half. Also, you might only want to only work on a part-time status? Or work enough to get another retirement. But you retired 10 years early. You get $1000 a month. That $12000 in a year, you 55, and you still healthy enough to enjoy life. So in 10 years, you made $120000 in retirement, not counting the money you get from your new job, that going to your social security. Then there's a possibility you can get a retirement from your second job. So when you 65, you might get social security and two retirement check. Sound like a deal, right? Now check this one out. Second one: You still with the same company, but you decided to retire at 65, instead of 55, or 62. By not retiring at 62, you got $200 more a month extra for doing them three extra years. Instead of $1000 a month, you now get $1700 a month, your medicare kicks in. Also now being 65, you can retire and come back as a consultant and make up to $45,000 a year without being penalized. You getting more money per month, you might miss out from getting another retirement from another company. I heard people say, why would anyone leave a $30 and hour job, to work a $15 an hour job. But working to 65 plus, would you be healthy enough to enjoy life when you finally retire? Which one? First one: Living large, being in a situation, you are envy by many. You have it all! A big house in the upscale of town, best furniture that money can buy. And you both have money, because you both make good money. It's just a perception in someone Else's eyes. Because it's not a happy home, you have a wife that lost her love for you. She wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole. she sleep upstairs, while you sleep downstairs. on a good month you might have sex 3 times. No kissing, no foreplay, when it's over, she would say, Now take your ass downstairs! She don't care at all, she tell you, why don't you look for someone else to be intimate with. But she wants to stay married with you, because together, you both have a great lifestyle. You got the green light to do what you want, is it worth it? Second one: Being broke, they say nothing from nothing leave nothing. You both struggle and live check to check. But you hang in there, there no extra. Once in a while, you can go out to eat and do a movie. You both eat in a lot, no one complain, because you love each other. People can't believe that you both not each other throats, but every month the bills payed. Things don't seem to get better, there's no light at the end of the tunnel. You hear about all the fun things somebody else done. But, not matter how bad things get, you still got each others back, You don't live in a good neighborhood, that's don't matter. You both in dead end jobs, but you hang in there. So in the first one , they have everything, but this one they have love. Would you rather have the lifestyle or love? Last one: money vs benefits. I know a person who was obsessed with money. he got a new job. They told him they could pay him $40 per hour, or $30 per hour and full benefits, which he only pay a fraction of his cost, and if he except the benefits at that hospital, some things he wouldn't have to pay a co-pay. He took the money, he had a real bad heart and still took the money. When his heart was giving out, he lost his job. They told him if he had insurance, he could have got a medical retirement from the company. His last wife had insurance, so when they were separated, before they were divorced, he used her insurance. He had major surgeries, multiple times. Before she found out and they got their divorce. His medical bill was over a half of million. He eventually got his disability and his cost was only $7000, from a 500,000 bill. So my advice to you, if you get less money but benefits, or more money and no benefits. Always take the benefits. Out of the different scenarios, which ones would you choose? This or that? riddle time: I'm a word, six letters long, I sometimes enter with a gong. All in order from A to Z, I start with the letter B. What is the word? ans: Begins I have one eye, but I can not see. I am so small that you can easily lose me. What am I? ans: A needle I am pronounced as one letter, but written with three. Me and my twin brother are blue, brown or green. What am I? Ans: Eye        |

Life is probably a little different here in Ireland....I retired early to take care of my dying husband and didn't go back to work after. I have a Government and work pension and still have full health benefits. So I can enjoy life.  ~~Anais Nin~~

I know what you talking about, growing up we survived. No extra, mainly what we needed only. Love is more important than most things.

Wow..I don't think I could even choose as for most of us stay at home mom's who only worked when we needed to, hell we can't even draw SS when we need to and that's wrong there should be some way for all the moms who stayed home to raise their children to get something. Because I have to say that is one of the hardest jobs ever. Great blog my friend I hope everyone reads it..have a great weekend.. Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Gosh, I could write a book about choices, how to go about choosing, and the wise tales about them!!! NO, we don't always have choices! When we do, and we choose, people will judge you by the choice you made, and not by what you had to choose from. In the example you're giving, YES, always choose benefits before money, one doesn't know hos bad it is to not have benefits like health insurance until they don't have it. That is something I don't wish on anybody!!!!! Great post!!!  WITHOUT PASSION LIFE IS NOTHING
