I have learnt the need to plan ahead of time. This book emphasises that failure to plan your future as regards retirement is a recipe for an unhappy retirement and old age.

I've learnt to strike a balance between work and recreation. So many spend their entire lives planning for the future and at the end if the day, they are too old to enjoy all the money they worked for. It's quite important to relax a little while you earn.

The best lesson I learnt from this book is that retirement may seem so far away, but in reality its just round the corner and we need to prepare for it.

I learned the concept or the ideology that retirement does not mean seating around and being bored, it can mean, and gives an opportunity for a renewal of your career and a jumpstart into something else.

The same here, it is shocking and scary to learn that we can't fully rely on pension funds in the future. We need to plan better now for our old days.

The greatest lesson I learned from this book was that retirement should not be the goal. One must find ways to enjoy life before retirement lest they will be disappointed.

I think an important thing I learned was to take charge of your thinking in planning a future for yourself, especially in retirement, I always thought it was just going to be a ride till whenever retirement came, but I learned that retirement needs to be carefully planned.

I learned that life should be enjoyed and lived to its fullest especially with whatever you consider as career and this should go on in retirement.

The major lesson learnt is that time is a good healer of emotional tragedy and in it's passage in conjunction with a good company of friends all becomes well.

I think the greatest lesson I learned from this book, is the fact that so many people work so hard to retire and then are too tired to have fun and enjoy their lives.

I have learnt that planning for better retirement but enjoying and having fun as I earn is also a good thing to do. You don't know when your life ends.

the greatest lesson I learned was about the need to learn to live and enjoy life before you hit the point of retirement. I expected to learn a lot of different places worth investing in, but the thing that I remembered the clearest was the emphasis on needing to learn to find a place in life before you hit the standard age to retire.

although the information on places to ensure to prevent trouble in the future was great, the greatest lesson I learned from the book was the need to be able to find a way to enjoy life before hitting the age of retirement

What I've discovered is that fun may be had even later in life. Older individuals can enjoy themselves. Making wise choices, later on, is another lesson I've picked up.
