達成目標不花錢,錢還有甚麼用?

讀完蘇教授的書,我認真地問自己:「你有甚麼目標?」

這個問題,其實不久前剛思考過。我希望做自己喜歡的事,旅行、看書。學一直想學的東西,學溜冰、書法、做蛋糕。多花時間陪家人,吃吃飯、看看電影、舉家泡在沙發看夜間電視劇。

要保持工作,做有趣的行業,還要繼續寫作。

但我不必儲蓄,不必中彩票,已可旅行、看書、學了溜冰、書法、做蛋糕...每天做著喜歡的工作,工餘埋頭寫作。

蘇教授說:「就是有個財務目標,例如5年後置業結婚,或者是20年後退休等。」

好,既然婚已結了,樓也買了,就想想退休生活吧。

退休後要幹甚麼?

我要做自己喜歡的事,旅行、做運動、看書、學書法。可以的話,重返校園學些新知識,結交朋友,與家人生活快樂健康。

不可以沒工作,做些既快樂又有收入的工作,如兼職教學、寫作、教日語、教演講、教普通話...最好有電視台或電台請我做個老人節目,則既有寄託又有收入,哈哈!看來退不退休,生活都一樣嘛!

話雖如此,我還是心疼那化成股海泡沫的1萬元。不管將來幹甚麼,還是好好理財吧。

Lavender,

Great to hear your thoughts and reflections upon some of the most interesting topics of Human History: "money, money, money - that's the rich man's word...."

Guess to most people, Money is just one of the means, but not the end game.

some of our behaviours / dreams / longings are pretty much exemplified in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:

-- Physiological;
-- Safety;
-- Love/Belonging/Social;
-- Esteem;
-- Self Actualization

and interestingly you might ask a question: what are the dreams / goals of all these Olympians who have practised their hearts out in the last few years if not their whole life and waiting for the moment to define themselves starting from tonight 8:08 8/8/2008..... and maybe we might have a slight glimpse of the moment of truth in the mid of the races!

Happy Beijing Olympics!
