You shouldn’t face old age with empty hands; you need to prepare well for it.

You shouldn’t face old age with empty hands; you need to prepare well for it.

You should never approach old age unprepared; it’s important to be well-equipped for it.

Ensure you have savings, a place to live, and ideally two homes – one for the winter and one for the summer, along with a car.

Everything should be yours. You shouldn’t depend on anyone or transfer your assets to others. Only then can you hope to live your later years with dignity.

I prefer to avoid accumulating unnecessary belongings. The more things you own, the more energy you spend maintaining them.

There’s a subtle boundary between owning things and allowing them to control you.

The true art of living is finding the balance between enjoying life’s pleasures and being able to rest peacefully.

It’s important not to torment yourself with the thought that someone will come along and take everything from you.

In this world, nothing truly belongs to us. We shouldn’t allow ourselves to become owned by material possessions.

Otherwise, it becomes a hidden form of servitude.
