From the book I learnt that I need to plan ahead for my retirement. I definitely need to find ways to save more money this giving myself security when I retire.

I learnt that if you are going to enjoy during your old age, start the work from now. Eat healthy, sleep well, invest, make the right decisions, and have good relationships. All these will later help you in old age.

I learnt many things from this especially planning ahead. If one plans ahead things won't be choked up later in the future.

I have learned how important it is to prepare for retirement. The cost of living is high for retirees since you're not making much. So it's crucial to carefully and accurately plan your retirement.

I am sure it would be good to be able to plan your retirement, save money and have a relaxed life at an old age. However, in my country, it is simply impossible. I was so sad to read complaints about the USA, while there, as a teacher, I would have a much better pension. The book teaches us well, but...sometimes it is too difficult.

Retirement is something I haven't really thought about except as an 'I'll finally be stress free' time. It's why I look forward to it, but I haven't planned much for it. I think I learnt that a) I need to start thinking and b) start having a bit more fun right now as well, because you never know what will happen later.

I learned it's good to have fun before retirement. Having fun doesn't mean you will spend your savings. I also learned that the future you will have depend on how you planned for it in the present.

I learnt that life doesn't have to stop after retirement. I can save up and plan for that time as it will be a time of reflection of how I have lived and the last thing I want is to be struggling or disturbing other people with my needs. I am glad that the author reminded us that old people can still have fun, if they plan adequately.

To me the lesson I learned is to enjoy your working time before you retire.. have fun and save up so that when you retire, you have little to no regrets.

I learnt that when you don’t save for retirement, your choices become more and more limited as you age. Start saving as early as you can and make plans what you want to do after you retire so the saved up money will not be spent carelessly. Have fun while at it so you’ll have little to no regrets.

One of the most important lessons I learnt from this book is planning. The importance cannot be overemphasised especially planning towards retirement and Old age

Planning your future properly is the ultimate lesson for me from this book. If you have the right job and plan your retirement thoroughly, you cannot lose.
