At least their is video chat feature, we can continue seeing ourselves there long time. If it's what you're comfortable with, it's cool. Even embarking on that movement is going cost you a lot money.

I've dealt with older women who also brought plenty of drama into my life so it's not a guaranteed thing. Yeah, you're right. It's all about the kind of person whom you got involved with. But what i'm trying to say is that most of the younger one's are more prone to being dramatic from my experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, unless I'm financially stable before I can plan to make such kind of trip. 4 hours ago, killamch89 said: Just curious - have she ever told you anything about her family life like if she has grandkids or stuff like that? Yes, she said she have about 4 daughters, and a son, two of her daughter is married while two are single. He has a grown up son, and she's a retired civil servant and a widow.

She retired earlier at the age of 66 years old. She would have waited to do it at full retirement age at 70 years. Was she having any health challenges that made her retire before 70?

Here in my country, my dad retired 60. But currently, I heard that the government of my country have extended worker's service devotion to 70 years. Before, it wasn't possible for all civil servants here in my country to retire at the age of 70, but now, all is said to retire at that age through the new law implemented.

Unless they have changed that, it's how they set it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, from the way I see it, unless you have a serious healthy challenge it's not good to retire before you can be able to enjoy the benefits of your retirement.

If you have a serious health issue that forced you to retire on time, here in my country, you'll still enjoy the retirement benefits. But I don't think my friend retired early, she didn't enter such serious health issue during her professional career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health isn't something that you can compromise because it's going to make it impossible for you to give your best at whatever you're doing. It's good to hear you're friend's health is not in jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
