  1. Here in Bulgaria, the women never retire, they do housework they raise the children they look after the area and then as they get older, they look after the children of the apartment block or the village, including their own grandchildren. They sweep the communal areas they plant the gardens et cetera, they live to 95 years old and are amazingly active. The men retire from formal jobs at 65, and then dead by, 68... I'm British, 53 year old man, watching the life here has made me determined that I will never retire in the western sense.

  2. IN THE WEST WE BUY CHEAP THINGS and then throw them away in 2 years when they are broken and buy another... In Japan, they guy a tea caddy and it lasts 5 generations. Admittedly it costs $600. EDIT - actually $74 - they have a website, link in the description.
