A fulfilling life need not be expensive. I find great joy reading, going to the library, exercising at the park every morning enjoying the fresh air. Life is short.

The other day I read a news about someone who died in the 60s, hardly had time to enjoy a good retirement. I don’t want that. Anyway I have the means to retire even though it may seem miserable to some. To me it’s great. It’s all about what you value in life. I value free time a million time more than the extra dollar I could earn. It’s my choice.
