tax deferral time is gone for 2004

With all the advertisement on tax deferral investments, from all the big financial institutions and countless smaller players, on the wane.

We can start calculating our taxes, so we can make the next deadline of April 30th.

Deadlines are something every one of us have been exposed to all of our lifes.

As you have noticed, we still have deadlines, even if we are retired.

There is a difference though, we have the time to take each deadline and do it without a lot pressure, unless we leave things until the last moment.
If this is the case we may as well stayed working and had all of the pressure all of the time.

A lot of people who retire, suffer an emotional roller coaster ride, for some time, after they leave work.
As I look back now, I am one of many who had enough things to do, and some things I always wanted to do but never had the time.
I played a lot of golf, 9 holes just about every day. At the start it was quite hard as I had not walked much in the last 10 years, out of shape.
I also made a life style choice to not ride a golf car, but instead pulled my little cart.
I sure was tired after a few holes, I stuck with it and by the end of the season, could play 18 holes with a little energy left.
I had a big "honey dooo list", that came with retirement, so I had to get into better shape if I wanted to have the time to play golf.

I did check with my doctor before I started out on my retirement life style.

All of the advice we hear from our doctors, many times over, develop hobbies, stay active in the community, stay fit, (this is as hard as loosing weight) and quit smoking (harder than loosing weight).

If you start your day with a little walk, it does not have to be far, and as you do it every day you will soon feel the diference. Check with your doctor first.

If a jogger runs at the the speed of sound, can he still hear his walkman?
