What Will I Do When I Retire? – August Blogging Challenge – Aug. 27th
Why do you Canadians always have to throw your healthcare and retirement into our American faces??? Ok, seeing how it’s an election year, I could go off on a political rant right about now, but this is a fitness and health blog. Not a how much the government blows blog.
So assuming I’m allowed to retire and am not forced to spend my golden years as a mindless corporate drone, I intend to live it up on the $5 in social security that may be left over for me. Ramen for everyone!!! Oops, back to politics. I’ll try to get back on task before I lose all but 2 of my followers. Thank goodness both of my parents are bleeding heart liberals and love me unconditionally.
Let’s start again…
When I grow up, if my body still lets me, I’d love to be able to travel around knocking races off my bucket list. I’d love to be able to say that I raced in all 50 states and several countries as well. I want to be able to enjoy my old age by being fit, healthy, and happy.
If that doesn’t work out, then plan B is become a cougar.

Australia has pretty good healthcare and retirement plans too 😉
I want to keep working for a long time. I want to be in a position where I go to work because I enjoy it and not because I need the money. I work with a lot of older patients, and the ones that retire early (and don’t keep themselves active!) are the ones that seem to go downhill the quickest.

That answer ROCKS!!!
For me, I think the bikini competitions won’t really work at 84, so Ima be a Jedi Knight. (But being a cougar is a good option B.)
