Saving for retirement

Money.

Everybody wants it.

Enough savings for an easy retirement.

Working in healthcare, I’ve talked to a lot of retired people.

Their biggest concern was their joint pain.

It helped me realize that health is our most valuable asset.

Healthy people have the opportunity to enjoy life.

But if you ever talk to a sick man, they only want one thing.

Have a 401 k, buy bitcoin, and keep cash savings.

But also walk, work out, and sleep consistently.

Endless margaritas in a beach chair isn’t a realistic retirement.

Your well-being is your best investment.

It’s often sad to see how limited the elderly can be.

When you stop moving, your body starts to shut down.

The value of our health can’t be understated.

It shapes our health, physique, and our overall experience of the world.

People who are out of shape aren’t “lazy”; their bodies just think they’re low on energy.

When you don’t get enough sleep, your body craves high-calorie food.

Or if you don’t workout regularly, exercise isn’t enjoyable.

But healthy behavior change creates a positive cycle for your energy.

You start to crave real food, consistent sleep, and daily exercise.

Yes, money will allow you to stop working.

But a healthy lifestyle creates a better quality of life.

Something as simple as a daily walking habit can change your future.

You get sun exposure which helps you sleep.

Plus the movement releases tension resulting in mental clarity.

Life is good when you’re not limited by physical pains.

Clear thinking and a fit body are the biggest benefits.

Better today and when it’s time to retire.

Hope this helps,

Do the things that make you happy, calm, and fit.
