My grandfather is already a retired at the age of 70. He lives in a small house near a beach in our town. Unlike other people who are retired and living luxuriously at their retirement mansion or vacation houses, my grandpa is living alone and only contenting himself with a little pension he is getting from the government. Since he was soldier way back then, he is receiving a little pension from the government. He was only a soldier for a couple of years. He quit when a bullet hit him, which almost took his life. After that, he became unemployed until now that he’s receiving only little amount from the government. Aside from this, he said he’s already happy with the unemployment benefits tax free that he is enjoying as a senior citizen who will no longer qualify for any job. I asked him if he is envious of those who live a luxurious retirement life; he just smiled and shrugged off. He did not give a direct answer, but he said he is already happy and contented with his simple life.
