My aunt just called last week to check on us. She said she has been missing her old home. It was good to hear her again and I am quite relieved that she and my uncle have adjusted well in their new home. She promised to send us a Christmas box as soon as she can fill it and I am hoping that there is a pair of rubber shoes in there. She is hoping that that the black Friday ads she saw on the newspapers are as good as they promised. We told her that it is okay not to send anything but we know her well, she would likely send a box full of presents for all of her relatives.

A new retiree, my aunt is still adjusting with her new laidback life. Her present routine is a departure from her usual hectic schedule that she maintained for years working as a teacher. She was planning to have her own small business but got busy with her relocation that the said plan took a backseat. Lately, she is reading a lot and came upon options trading strategies. She realized that even if she cannot have her own business, she could try emini trading to invest some of her retirement money. She is getting apprehensive that if she will not invest that money, she would just lose it from unnecessary spending.

I understand her apprehension as based on her past experiences, she lost a lot of money because of my uncle’s selfish spending. Old age is already settling in for both of them and she knows that if she don’t use or invest her money wisely, it will be difficult for both of them to recoup it. It’s good that my uncle is still working but he is more concerned with his personal wants than save for the future.

Nowadays, she is keeping an eye on Forex Signals and studying how foreign exchange trading works. I am also curious with it. She did promise to keep me posted so I could learn something from it too. Who knows, I might get into it someday. Meantime, I am so excited to get my hand on that promised Christmas box.
