An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?” The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.” The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?” To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.” “But what then?” Asked the Mexican. The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!” “Millions – then what?” The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

每天早起听音乐看书，然后在风景美丽的小路散步，然后去 museum 看各种美丽的艺术品，然后回家看书听音乐看剧。我过了几年这种日子，钱花光了回来上班，等不及退休了
我现在就在家发呆，干嘛要等退休
每个周末都是这样的日子，哈哈
我在国内也在发呆，只好刷刷华人😄
发呆是我的真爱，除了睡觉之外
我也想做dog rescue 比心
因为退休就不用工作了
做TA，RA就可以不交吧。 学生第一反应肯定以为你是professor
和朋友隔三差五打乒乓球，匹克球，hiking 在教会做礼拜，唱诗，聚会，吃饭
以为是我发言！
不会以后申请ranger工作很卷吧?
看着不难，实则对居住地的人文和自然要求都挺高。
啊 他哪是追求理想，博流量吧
一把年纪申请，教授还会给TA, RA吗？
现在退休的正是侯时候，很多选择，也算现世安稳。计划以后退休要干的事，除了因为上班时间不允许，其他的能实现就实现吧，也可以不等到退休以后的
想创业，全力推进的那种。现在孩子的事情一大堆，真是很费时间精力。
你找到了来告诉大家。我也不想上班，我现在每周上四天班都很抑郁了。讨厌出卖劳动力不自由
对的，好日子一去不复返。有钱真好，住在风景秀丽安全安静的地方，不用上班无压力，简直是神仙日子。
简而言之，就是工作轻松可以满足家庭需要，就已经是退休生活。工作不光轻松还是乐趣，多美的事情。
对我而言，工作不轻松，非常stressful，还不能满足家庭需要，压力层层叠加。无解。
当然交学费，但可以抵税。
不容易，要不练练冥想，减减压？
每年希望能冬天回一次国一两个月，去一次墨西哥半个月到一个月，去一次泰国，其他时间晒晒太阳，夏天后院维护草坪，一个月有一两次后院烧烤，主要烤羊肉串、大虾、鸡翅
还有就是自己的爱好，不过最近有点害怕受伤了，毕竟老了，协调性不如以前了。
It seems that seniors will get tuition discount.
Maybe you could do research as a consultant for a professor?
咱们在一个地方就好了，我也想打网球
这里所有的不退休就可以做呀
