Financial Independence

My father was in AirForce. So after he retired he had a good pension and after his death my mother gets family pension. My mother is 64. The money she gets is sufficient. And she has never had to ask money from me. When she goes to visit her brothers and sisters, she travels by air or comfortably in air conditioned compartment in train. I don't have to buy a ticket for her. In fact, she insists in paying for the tickets herself. In other words, she is financially independent.

Being financially independent in old age is a good goal to shoot for.

When you retire, will you be financially independent?
Will you have a house - your house - to live in?
After you die will your wife be financially independent?

It doesn't matter what your age is today. But are you thinking about your old age?
Some day you will become old, won't you?
Time to prepare for this is now.
