Gaišās vecumdienas

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Given that I will be retired soon, I hope that I will be able to enjoy my old age peacefully. That there will be enough people in Latvia to get my old-age pension. I hope I could live climate neutrally, the House would be at least passive, or if it were still an apartment in the city, then in a thoroughly insulated house. I hope I can afford to buy and use an electric car by charging it from solar batteries right there in my house. Ideally, I have one car and kids on each electric car as well. I will definitely continue to sort the waste. I assume that it will be possible to separate the combustible lightweight packaging from the recyclable packaging. Also, the deposit system will hopefully be wider, adding more items to the current ones. And it would be good if every time you arrive to hand over the packaging, it would be possible to hand it over. I will probably continue to move around the city with public transport, which will hopefully be highly electric. I hope that most food will not be transported far away. Things that are available on site are better not to be transported far away. What is not available on site can be transported, but everything available on site will not be transported far away. Wind and solar energy will also be more widely available.

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive

Älter werden im Dorf
Ich bin älter geworden. Ich habe mir mit meinem Partner den Traum erfüllt, nochmal ein Haus zu bauen - im Garten des alten Hauses war ja schließlich noch Platz! Kleiner als das alte Haus ist es nicht geworden, dafür besser aufgeteilt. Wir haben uns in die obere Wohnung zurückgezogen - das Büro im Untergeschoss wird nicht mehr gebraucht, seit wir uns aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückgezogen haben. Jetzt dient es als Appartement, wenn Kinder und Enkel zu Besuch kommen. Unsere Nachbarschaft verändert sich ständig. Trennungen und Todesfälle sorgen für Wechsel. Die Häuser stehen nicht lange leer. Es ist sehr beliebt, im Dorf zu wohnen. Hier achtet man immer noch aufeinander und das Zusammenleben funktioniert. Es gibt viele Angebote für Jung und Alt, dem meisten Leuten ist es wichtig, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Insgesamt eine gute Umgebung, älter zu werden.

I would like 2040 to be antidiscriminate for people above 26 years old to get job. I mean here 26 years old is unmet to apply jobs. I mean its limited only from 18 to 25 years old. And the rest people are jobless even 40s and 50s years old. The issues are a lot. But i can't believe it its difficult here also to do business or self employee. Because everyone also have no job, and less moneys, to buy our products very challenging. I wanna see this will improved and people are secure financialy, can pay taxes, more integrity, prosper. I can't describe the future would be. Clearly, the future i wish is full of blessings and prosperity.
