Why the Retirement Cobra will bite if you work again
Did you hear the story about the British, the Indians, and the venomous cobras back in colonial times? What happened was, the Brits got jumpy about all the cobras slithering around. Understandable, right? So they said, Bring us dead cobras and we’ll pay you. It was ‘cash for cobras.’ But what’s easier than killing cobras slithering around the bazaar?
Killing captive cobras. So the locals secretly bred cobras to kill. But when the number of dead cobras increased, the Brits clued in, soon discovering the clandestine cobra breeding operations, and stopped cash for cobras immediately. And with nothing but nests of worthless cobras, the locals released the snakes into the wild, making the problem doubly worse.
And believe it or not, the same goes for retirement too. After the first six to 18 months, anyway. That’s when feelings of frustration and uncertainty strike many newly retired folk, convincing them to quit retirement, running back to their career like a jilted spouse running back to an old lover.
The result?
Often their frustration and uncertainty get worse. Sometimes doubly worse.
I explain why on page 63 of my book, You’ll Hate Retirement.
But that’s not all I explain, either.
On pages 63 to 75 I also explain the three strategies you can follow to help avoid feeling frustrated and uncertain, crafting your own satisfying retired life instead.
What’s more, my book is ‘cobra free’ guaranteed.
