Refired Not Retired Day To Live Life To The Fullest

Updated 6 March 2022, 12pm

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has recently read about how to celebrating Refired, Not Retired Day, 1st March annually, it’s as simple as reevaluating any of your ideas (If yet to have, can start exploring now 😃) of what it means to you to be retired. What have you got planned for the years after you retire or even retire early❓⁉️

Refired Not Retired Day is dedicated to all those people who have retired already OR about to get retired. During retirement period of life, live your life to the fullest, yes, just enjoy your life & make the most of these retirement years by doing things that you always wanted to do, as you finally got time to do all the things that you love to do. Read more via 🌐 https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/refired-not-retired-day/

Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing actually wishes to retire early, yes ✅, since she has graduated & starting to work 👩🏻‍💻, this is a life goal 🎯 that she is working on. It means good financial habits count, be discipline in your budget set, not wasting money unnecessarily etc. Some of her tips are reduce eating out, no unnecessarily phone upgrades, unnecessarily clothing & apparel shopping, not to opt for extended warranties & not to fall into emotional impulse shopping etc.

“Planning to retire? Before you do find your hidden passion, do the thing that you have always wanted to do.” ~ By Catherine Pulsifer

Apart from the major concern ie. Enough financial to support early retirement, the rule of thumb widely recognised is only withdraw 4% from retirement savings each year

Personally to her, enough meant differently by each retirees, if you can be living on a lower budget that you’re comfortably adapting to, without any luxury elements, then your “enough” for early retirement surely more achievable, as compared to those that wish to enjoy a more luxury comfortable retirement life. So, a honest & reality self reflect is required to consider your retirement lifestyle, current or long term healthcare needs, living downsizing etc. ya 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

The important factor that drives her to achieving early retirement is what she is gonna do to fill her time after retire. Once retired, it means literally you have extra hours of 9 to 5 on your own, no need answering to many bosses, hurray‼️ She knows herself well that she needs to keep her time occupied, she just can’t be doing nothing for a long time, she just can’t, lol 😆

Frankly, initially when she wishes to retire early, so she can backpacking around the world 🎒🌎, however with the global health pandemic now, she needs to pen down what she is gonna do instead before her long backpacking journey then

Let’s start to craft out an actual plan for your post-retirement years OR plan a fun bucket list that you can happily tick off after each exciting completion during your retirement

It’s just a new 🆕 beginning after your retirement, enjoy new 🆕 life for your own self. It’s a 2nd chance for all retirees to live life to its fullest to stay happy vital

In this sharing, SiennyLivesDrawing 👩🏻 is gonna sharing some pointers/ ideas of what to do to fill your time during retirement. It’s important to plan well to enjoy the max benefits of an early retirement 😃

What’s your answers to these questions❓⁉️

  • When you were a child, what did you love most? Isn’t it now the time that each of us remembered the simple joy of being a child?
  • Anything you wished you would have done? Not done?
  • Who matters to you?
  • If money were not a problem, what would you be doing now?
  • If tomorrow is your last day in life, will you have any regrets?

Healthy Living

Practicing healthy eats, do more home cooking or baking as you wish to enjoy your daily meals

This amazing panel session 🗣👥👤👥 was attended by approximately 120 MGAC participants & university representatives 👭👫👬

What has the panel session 🗣👥👤👥discussed❓⁉️

MGAC is Maybank 🐯🏦’s multi-disciplinary talent recruitment competition which has impacted the lives of over 1.2 million students & graduates 🎓 globally 🗺🌍 since its inception in 2012

Themed Challenge of Choice, MGAC 2019 is redefined through the gamification of the programme, providing talents 👨🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓🎓 with a holistic platform to showcase their abilities. It also aims to test the ability of all the challengers’ in making decisions in life 🤗

“We’re always looking for innovative ways to test & shape the future-readiness of the participants 👬👫👭 & #ChallengeOfChoice does that in a holistic manner. The new 🆕 generation of hires are truly an exemplary group who have made such an impact in the workforce as companies across industries are adapting their ways – in balancing ⚖️ between nature & nurture – to attract these talents 👨🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓🎓

We’re not just trying to find the best talent 🎓 with MGAC – we’re looking to shape the leaders 👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼 of tomorrow.

“Back then when we looked at hiring a talent🎓, we chose their CVs 📜 with a focus on scaling the company, the fastest way possible. But looking back & learning from the experience, I understand now that choosing candidates 👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓 who share the same beliefs & values as our brand is a more effective approach to building a solid foundation for a team 👭👬👫

It’s a lot easier to nurture a team 👭👬👫 that shares the same passion for the success 👍🏻 of the brand.

Encouraging teamwork 🤝 & strategic liaising – MGAC 2019 will have all participants & non-participants 👭👬👫 to play a role in the challenge. It aims to provide an experience that is current, enjoyable & unique for everyone involved 😊

“At the end of the day, hiring based on the natural skills of a candidate 🎓 or nurturing the candidate 🎓 to strive better are both equally important & dependent on the progress of the talents’ career journey.  For corporations to grow, especially today with a new 🆕 age workforce coming into the picture ~ they need to adapt & listen to what they want to attract the right people 👍🏻

And that’s what makes Maybank 🐯🏦 different. Maybank 🐯🏦 has listened & identified what the future talents want & provided it through MGAC 2019.
