The past few months were a steep learning curve for me. I do not think I came out with flying colours, but lessons learnt are always useful.
Out of the many lessons learnt, there were two that were most memorable:
1) When I reach the age of 50, I better be prepared to be retrenched. I will ensure I am debt free, have alternate streams of income, and be ready to retire. It will happen to anyone, and I better be prepared for it. Thinking about it, in fact I should be aiming for retirement as of now. Time to relook at my finances and investments.
2) Health comes first. It will be too late when health is gone and I try to do something about it. Without health, everything else does not matter. Time to get back to the gym, and allocate time to exercising regularly. Eat healthy, think healthy.
Both of the lessons were learned from people around me, and it will be foolish to ignore it.
