A poor old friend of mine AND A rich old friend of mine

nurseAmongst my rich and poor friends i have noticed something that i would like to share with you today.

Some of my friends grew up poor and they got rich at some point in their life and now they are old and they are poor again. In addition some have healthy problems and have no money to take care of themselves. With old age, healthy problems are common.

On the other hand i see my rich friends who also grew up poor and became rich at some point in their life time and are still rich and can take care of their healthy. They have the money to spend on their treatment.

I looked closely at these friends of mine and i saw something that i would like to share with you today.

Many of my old poor friends worked for many years in different companies and some even started companies for other people but when they got old they were forced to retire. The only thing they retired with was their pension money. But with old age comes healthy problems, so the pension money was used up for treatment in the first year of retirement. Now there is no more cash to take care of their healthy. They have nothing that is generating money for them.

But if i look at my rich old friends, they were not employees, they were employers, they were their own bosses and created businesses for themselves and today these businesses are still taking care of them when they are old. No one can force them to retire from their business but of cause many have retired on their own will and have given the company to their children. They still get a salary from the business and the company takes care of their healthy.

What lesson do we draw from this story. Ask yourself right now what you are going to be when you get old. Are you going to be a poor old friend of mine or a rich old friend of mine. I encourage young people to think about their tomorrow, to start their own businesses because no one will force you to retire from your own business. Moreover you are creating a legacy for your family and believe it or not, your family will not suffer because of you. When you get old, you will remember this article. Its better to do it now than to regret tomorrow when its too late.
