Retirement Sayings: Reflective Of A New Beginning In The
Twilight Of Life
A good retirement saying should give the impression about
the personality of the person uttering these words, and it may be about the
wealth that he or she has earned, or about money, or his or her surroundings,
or just about anything that will serve well for posterity. There was a time
when the rich and poor were clearly divided from one another and the poor could
not even dream about becoming wealthy. Retirement sayings in such times were
said to have evolved, and are quite different these days with the average
worker also having some amount of money to boast about.
Lack Of Urgency Of Time
Famous people have come up with some famous retirement
sayings including ones such as “The trouble with retirement is that you never
get a day off” by Abe Lemons. Such a retirement saying is very apt as it shows
that once a person has stopped his normal working routine he or she is left
with endless hours in which to contemplate life and come up with thoughts that
reflect the lack of any urgency of time.
Retirement sayings may not always be reflective of time, and
there are many people that come up with funny ones that make light of the fact
that you are now no longer an active part of the rat race, and therefore have
lots of time on your hand, but less income to spend. An unknown retirement
quote that very aptly sums up this state of mind is “I’m retired – goodbye
tension, hello pension!” is very illustrative of this new found life without
any urgency to get ahead in life; but, which rather is the beginning of a new
life that is not going to tax the person’s faculties, and even less his bank
balance.
Retirement sayings usually will let on how one has to spend
much time without the need to have money, and all the hassles that come along
with making money day in and day out. It is the beginning of the twilight of
the journey of life when you have done all that you could to arrive at this
point of time, and are now left with time to reflect back on what was, and also
what is to come. Retirement sayings are many, and a good one is sure to accept
that you no longer are required in the hurly burly of life and gone too are the
days filled with pressure, stress as well as heartache.
