Stocks are not just pieces of paper or numbers.
That means owning ownership of the company, or in other words, owning a part of the company.
When we buy stock in a company, it means we become partners who share in the company's profits, growth, losses, and risks.
From this perspective, stock investment should go beyond simply buying low and selling high, and should be an activity that involves looking at the future of a company and participating with a long-term perspective.

The fact that Korea has the highest elderly poverty rate and suicide rate in the world is not simply a disgrace, but an indicator of the structural vulnerabilities of our society.
Rapid industrialization, the wealth gap between generations, an imperfect pension system, a weakening family support function, and social isolation and declining health are all working together to push older people into poverty and despair.
This is not simply an individual problem; it is the responsibility of society as a whole, transcending generations and classes, and is also a task for future generations.

Many people think that preparing for retirement is limited to 'money,' but in reality, there are many more factors that affect life in retirement.
Financial security is essential, but it alone does not guarantee a satisfying and healthy retirement.
A balanced retirement is only possible when non-financial factors such as medical expenses and health care, a safe and comfortable living environment, active social relationships, and a sense of meaning and purpose in life are supported.

Loss in old age is an unavoidable fact of life.
How we accept and respond to it is up to each individual.
As Goethe said, it is not how long you live but how you live that matters.
Old age is not just a time of growing old, it is a time of ripening.
We must cultivate our lives with care so that the fragrance and warmth of life can permeate into that ripeness.
Only then can we truly begin to live a life of ‘aging well’ and ‘ending with dignity.’
