Questions about retirement

[Poweredbythesun]

Recently I finished a book called : Poor Richard's Retirement - By Aaron Clarey

And I've also been thinking about my 401k lately too, so I wondered; What is the Zevism stance on retirement?



I'm at a crossroads right now, and can have almost any career / job I want. And I can live pretty cheaply on my own. But the question of should I be putting away money for a 'retirement' keeps coming up, and I don't know what to do.

I've always planned to be financially independent at some point too, but this is a ways out. As well, things will drastically change between now and then for the better.

Let me know what you all would do in this situation, thank you!

I'd have a physical job only insofar as it supported me in the occult. If I didn't need to work for money, I wouldn't, I'd focus on spiritual advancement.

The spiritual advancement would improve my odds in terms of long term survival (ultimate goal) more than say, working and investing in genetics research for life extension (I hope the Gods are helping with that).

As a long lived or immortal being, does retirement even seem necessary? An Zevism strives to complete the magnum opus which in turn makes one immortal. Before even reaching that though it is still possible to live hundreds and possibly even thousands of years before the physical body perishes. Not only that, since one strives for immortality wouldn't that basically mean there isn't a need to stop working in your preferred career/ life pursuit? Its a life path that you desire after all.

I haven't read that book but most if not all financial experts say to start saving for retirement asap due to the power of compound interest.

I agree that one should start putting money away for retirement as soon as possible.
At least get your companies match otherwise you are throwing away free money.

I don't see any conflict with saving for retirement and being Zevism because either way that's money for your older self whether you complete the magnum opus by then or not.

In any case that's less energy you would have to use for income for that timeframe.

If you want another good read on retirement planning, I highly recommend "The Simple Path" to wealth by JL Collins.

A couple of years ago peoples retirement plans and things they saved up were said to.. Have failed to deliver ebough for the elderly person as the companies that stored it for you were in financial trouble.

People that own their own businesses or are self employed do not usually have a retirement plan or thing where they save up for later.

If you save up over a certain amount over where I am from you are forced to pay taxes over it. Though I am not sure how much.

What you do depends on you.

But the elderly here get moneys regardless if they have saved up or not, rather, if they still have enough wealth saved up, they would be forced to spend all that first and be excluded in some cities to some things an elderly person normally shouldnt have to pay for.

There have been plenty of campaings here about elderly people gifting to the younger so the younger wouldnt have to pay tax over it after they died.

I think it may be more about destroying family wealth if you think about it.

Don't think about retirement anything soon, at least not till 2024. You should invest in gold bonds, gold stocks and buy physical gold as we might end up in a recession soon. Your goal should be about making profit now. Think about retirement afterwards.Think for yourself and do the necessary research. That's all it takes. And that's what's important. I wouldn't be surprised if you figured out what I'm hinting at by delving deep into this subject.

Don't believe me or anyone else. The writing is on the wall. Do your research and make your decisions. That's all I can say here .
Hope I helped.

From what I've gathered from the replies here, and some financial advice that's came to light recently; I think I'm just going to go up to the match on my 401k contribution. I can later roll that into a IRA when I leave my current employer, and it's free money

The only downside to that is I'll have less income to work with, but given how fast I'm picking up pace and have been advancing lately. . I don't think things like money will be too much of a problem in the future Besides, I'm more interested in building my ability to produce wealth right now, as opposed to getting rich quick (I've personally seen the inside of that industry, and I'm glad I don't work for them anymore).


Honestly though, I could see myself learning more about the tax code more than anything right now. My interests have been peaked XD

It's been said before, but just to be safe, make sure that you use "in a very positive and happy way for me" or something similar when creating an affirmation.

Wait until the economic reset happens then start saving.
