Think you retire old?

As Singapore is raising everything from the number of floors of a building, to public transport fares, to CPF contributions, to the retirement age. Yes, people in Singapore have to work until age 65, and then get their CPF, taxed. Why? I will never know, since CPF was our own money anyway. But before anyone mistakes this as a rant against our beloved home country, let me make my point. It is GOOD. It is WONDERFUL compared to what other people have to face. 65 is a young age to retire.

Why? Take for example Mr Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Yes. Him again. He would be some 79 years old were he alive today. And he's still working. "After his death?" some might ask. Well, yes. He's a merchandise seller today. Look at the number of products with his face on it today. And the thing is that being dead, he's not being paid a single cent. And he will probably work for many years to come. In fact, we should all look to him as the model Singaporean, working all the way until after death, for free. Think we have a hard time? Good men work forever.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ernesto "Che" Guevara
