I was also shuttling between SGH, home and schools at the beginning of March as my mother just had her knee replacement surgery. Similarly, all my relatives commented that luckily I am 'unemployed' and can afford the time to take care of her.<br /><br />2. My father hint that I should start a business again so my children will have something to inherit from me. In another word, he is telling me not to be a lazy bum.<br /><br />CW8888: you are right that we need to invest in our health to enjoy its dividend. However, 40 years old is not the beginning of downhill. In my thirties, my physical health is not as good as I am now due lack of exercise. With time on my hand, I am able to exercise more often and I feel fitter that before.<br /><br />YJ72YJ72https://www.blogger.com/profile/08997061146731034795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-62453293796223233772012-03-21T16:17:59.078+08:002012-03-21T16:17:59.078+08:00Temperament, thanks for your words.

It's great you can attend to your mom's needs without worrying about your job. i experienced no job worry(jobless) and volunteered in my family to take care "fully" of my mom's visits to doctors. In a way, after some "rough calculation," i purposely un-employed myself at the age of 53 and try to take care of my mom's needs too. You see, we believe everything happens for a purpose.

How can 1 to 2k be enough for you? How to save enough for a secure retirement with 1-2k salary? Why forgo the opportunity to earn much much more? This is particularly so if you have no children to be care-giver to you when the same thing happens to you when you are old. Still need to wipe tables when you are sick?<br /><br />Life works out in unexpected ways. If you had listened to her then, everyone would be losers now. You will have lesser money and will probably still be slogging as a salary worker. Your mother will not have a full-time caregiver whom she can trust. There may even be financial problems in meeting the hospital bills. Today, she got a wonderful, reliable care-giver and you are financially secure. Win-win situation. Sometimes, it makes sense to disobey parents :)hyomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175340583474513718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-40226027350818374722012-03-20T07:32:17.200+08:002012-03-20T07:32:17.200+08:00hyom,
