How Old Were You When You Realized ...

[sanatanadharma]

27. Rewards without asking is called grace and I don't think the market place has any

I never played the game. I did not buy into the 'do it now' so your future will be better assured.
Circumstances and choices manifested different jobs, no savings plan, and broken marriages where I left assets behind.
I eschewed insurance and thinking I had any control. I reduced my desires.

Before retirement age, I knew I was to be screwed.
But I was wrong, thank you very much.
The time came, and I retired into an unexpectedly good life with rewards beyond my wildest dream.
Rewards far greater than any results I could have expected from my limited efforts and actions.
