How would you like to spend your retired life?

Thats very nice Pramod. You should read the scriptures more in retired life. I intend to read shrimad bhagwatam and bhagavad gita in depth.

Yes Achuta, I am also interested in going through all the four vedas, bhagvat geeta though I listen the lectures on TV channels on geeta. But to understand it fully, we will have to read it in depth. Seems you are also of pious nature. Congrats !! Keep it up.

This is very much like me. I am not Hindu or officially affiliated with any tradition but I do have my own spirituality. I am 24 and have already begun investing for retirement. I plan to spend most all my retirement studying spiritual matters, meeting others on a similar path, and working on my own enlightenment. I hope to spend my retirement focused more than ever on the path of my own personal Dharma (Hope that is the right terminology.). That is to walk the path toward the highest expression of my own nature toward the fulfillment of all my responsibilities, i.e. to fulfill my destiny. I also hope to read many books from many spiritual traditions. Hopefully by this time I will be able to afford to travel the world and to have my own personal retreat some where out in nature were I can commune with the spirit in peace. My suggestion for you to discover what you will do with your retirement is to find a place were you can be alone, and ask yourself what you want the most from the depths of your heart. Then do that.

I suggest you to take some bold steps financially with half of the money you have and try to save the rest in a high yiled savings account. That is the best way to prepare for retirement.

Thats a very neat thing to do. US is so big that travelling here itself is going to take so much time. Good luck in your endeavors.

Thats very ncie to hear. A women's ideal place is always where she is needeed most. That is with her kids and grand kids. You are doing a great job. Keep it up.
