Wonderful things we gain in retirement - control

Transcript

One of the most important things we gain in retirement is control. We get control of our time. We get to control our decisions. We can control where we live, when we get up, when we go to bed, when we eat. And it goes much deeper than that. But what control did for me when I retired, or the additional control that I gained when I retired, was I was able to take control of my diet. I was able to take control of the foods that we bought for the family to eat. When you're working, it is so hard to manage your diet. It's hard to shop. It's hard to find good, healthy food. It's hard to afford good, healthy food. But making food is so time-consuming. And yeah, you can prep, and there's a lot of things you can do. And a lot of people do that while they're working. I was never successful at it. But once I retired... I was able to take the time to do those things. And it had an enormous impact on my health. So we gain control when we retire. And we can use that control in a lot of ways.
