Nanjin looks at the brigade, Paris looks at the iron tower, Italy eats pizza… Lao Hei retired at the age of 45 and has been to more than 50 countries so far. Regardless of how the scenery in front of him changes, the only thing that does not change is that his wife Olivia must be accompanied by! After middle age, the two of them can still love to travel. What are the secrets of maintaining a happy marriage and a wonderful retirement life?
Lao Hei and his wife Olivia each have their own circle of friends and have different interests. In terms of sports, one likes yoga and the other likes running, but when they meet two people, they always get together, such as riding and traveling.
Isn't this kind of marriage model the relative pattern of friends? "Someone will say, "I am not as strong as before." Of course, you can't love you for so long."
Lao Hei believes that after we have been together for a long time, friendship is more important than love. Being able to stay together comfortably and do passionate things together is more important than I love you and you love me all day, but there is nothing to say.
"Especially after retirement, treat the other party as a friend, and do not treat it as your appendix. Respect your partner more than people all over the world."
Take travel as an example. Olivia is the initiator of the travel plan. Later, Lao Hei joined the discussion together. All decisions are the decisions of two people. So far, the two have gone to more than 50 countries together.
The scenery in the other half of his eyes is the treasure in your eyes
Once when two people went to India, Lao Hei felt that the local environment was dirty, but Olivia pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Look, Indians always smiled on their faces, without a single complaint." On the journey, the two people could always talk about new feelings.
Of course, there are inevitable quarrels during the journey. The world of Yang, the two of them were not familiar with each other abroad and were lost again. Lao Hei persisted in this way and just walked another way. Olivia replied, "You're wrong!" The two began to quarrel.
Lao Hei said, "It's usually me wrong, haha!" Even if there were quarrels, Lao Hei said firmly, "The other half is the best travel companion!"
It has been almost 25 years since we got married. When I asked Lao Hei, where is Olivia the most beautiful, and he still had love in his eyes with a smile: "Of course, everything is beautiful!" After laughing, he said sincerely, "I think she has the most beautiful personality and tolerate the whole me."
She has a lot to worship, and empathy and artists’ personality make me love it. Like India just mentioned, she can easily pay attention to the good things I have not seen. ”
"We know more and more that we are each other's "companions". It's not good for everyone to argue for too long. The time in marriage is very precious." How much time is left before the last day? Few people can think of this, even regard marriage as a shackle, and the more they look at each other, the more they become, the more they are.
The funds for travel around the world come from a sound financial plan. Two people traveled around the world, and spent 1.6 million in one trip. Fortunately, Lao Hei has the habit of investing in financial management. He shared three financial secrets:
1. Have a certain amount of savings and investing in financial management properly;
2. Be willing to live a simple and simple life;
3. Choose to live in a place with lower prices and lower prices. The two moved back to Kaohsiung from Beijing and strived to be simple and simple, walk if you can walk, otherwise you would ride a bike, reduce food outside, and find that you would eat better and healthier!
He said that the most important thing in investment is to think about it. Grasping high returns must have high risks. Just be stable in middle-aged investment layout, be able to beat passive income, or exceed daily consumption.
So he loves to recommend financial products with an annual interest rate of 10%-15%, but he doesn't touch them. He only chooses financial products with an annual interest rate of 4%-5%, such as: high-yield bond funds, insurance, etc.
Because I have been to a foreign company, Lao Hei is familiar with overseas investment, so he opened an account in Australia. "But if you are not familiar with the local area, it is not recommended to open an account specifically and not to put money in places you are not familiar with." Everything is as conservative, contented and stable.
The basics of wonderful retirement come from a healthy body
Lao Hei chose to travel around the world with emails. Although it is easier and convenient than taking a flight, it still requires great energy. In addition to investing in money, he also pays great attention to his health capital.
But he is passionate about running and riding on the bike, and he is also unable to avoid aging and invasion. A year and a half ago, he suffered from glaucoma. As his vision became narrower and narrower, he may lose his energy seriously, which is an irreversible disease. He was afraid that it didn't take long to decide on surgery, and in addition to extreme treatment, he also paid more attention to physical health.
"After the age of 40 or 50, I have only one way to walk, that is, go downhill." But he said with a happy and contentment: "Although people have room for improvement, "now" means the best for me. No matter how much I lack, I will still say that I am now 100 points. ”
In early October next year, Lao Hei has booked the mail tickets for Africa!
He shared happily on his face: I am very lucky to have a big hook on the wish list. From this incident, I have clearly learned the truth that "the most beautiful dream is to know and do it". It is not only suitable for travel, but also for life.
Lao Hei bravely retired from his job at the age of 45, pursuing his own life direction; he suffered from glaucoma at the age of 57, and was extremely curious about his life; he was 59 years old and was full of passion for life and curiosity for the world.
No matter what the unknown future will be, what is known is that Lao Hei is heading towards a wonderful life without regrets, and there must be Olivia's warm company beside him.
