In my opinion, reaching and old age in this country can be either a dream or a nightmare depending on your income.
   If you have the benefit of having a stable and profitable job, the retirement system lets you enjoy your old age relatively well. Of course, this can be just a delusion, since I haven’t met anyone who have benefited from our current system.
Nevertheless, retiring in Chile is a benefit for all of those who can afford it.
I haven’t thought about my case, but it is an obvious issue to us all, especially when you have to respond for your own savings.

On a different note, I don’t think that money is the only issue when thinking about old age. Obviously, it affects all your possibilities, but I think that no matter how much you prepare for your elder years, you have to mature in order to really enjoy the possibility of a long life.   We cannot just focus on youth, and youth only. Even though our culture is focused on the values of youthfulness, individuality and wealth, we can only truly enjoy life by letting go much of those goals. I think that if we live in a sensible way each stage of our lives, reaching and old age can become a gift and not a burden.

TO OLD AGE.
I SEE in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads
itself grandly as it pours in the great Sea.
