Essay / Obtaining a stable income after retirement - 1014
Obtaining a stable income after retirementSome people cannot wait until retirement. The prospect of taking a break after 40 years of work is indeed very tempting. Everyone imagines themselves sitting on the backyard porch sipping tea, working on our rose bush, and doing other non-stressful activities. Unfortunately, that's only half the story. Certainly, retirees appreciate non-stressful activities. However, there are also problems that affect them, because retirees do not have a regular income if they do not plan for this money.

If, for example, you smoke, you will have to pay higher monthly payments. Again, this is due to the risk of exposure: the more likely you are to get sick, the higher your monthly payments will be. There is no doubt that private medical insurance these days can be very expensive. However, these are payments you make each month to prepare in case you need to have a medical procedure. When this happens, the major expenses will be borne by the insurance company. Imagine if you didn't have a private health insurance plan.
