the solution

Hi! my name is Claude. All my friends call me Sanky a short for Sancartier. I live in Terrebonne Québec that's in Canada, with my lovely wife Diane and my 3 beautiful dauthers Chantale, Isabelle and Brigitte and I'm a Grandfather to a good looking boy and two beautiful little girls.

Today I'm free of my professional obligations, ...I'm young and retired

I believe that this part of my life must be built around new projects that will permit me to accomplish my dreams, to live experiences that have been put aside for ages. Anyway to live differently than around a swimming pool or playing golf, this of course supposing I have the money to do all of this!

Its not that I disagree with the fact that many retirees concentrate more time to sports and leisure. Because we do have more free time on our hands than before, it's in fact very legitimate that we give ourselves well earned good times, after so many years of labour.

But as far I'm concerned retirement should not be built around leisure alone. Men and women as you probably know, leave their jobs younger and they are far from having a foot in the tomb like it was the case in the older days, when people took their "pension".

I think that still being young and full of energy when you retire has a lot to do with the pleasure of being retired: To live differently, to live something else, freely and my own way without constraints.
