Life …

Oh wow! I am in a stage called the midlife. What’s that?

Haha It is just that when I think about it now, I have never thought about this time of my life when I was younger. Yeah, I did think about reaching 30. I thought before that if I reached 30, I would retire and live in my own home and pursue gardening and live off the interest of my deposits and investments. But as life turned out, I was wrong. At middle age, I am still working my butt off and now doubly hard because I have a family to support. I have a young baby who needs a lot of stuff and will probably need more when she gets older. Plus, we are thinking of adding another one so that at least, there are four of us in the family.

Then I would read of news reports of people whose lives are turned upside down, if not actually stolen from them. It is like a nightmare turned into reality. And in this day and age, that nightmare is so common because of identity theft. Imagine that, somebody else living as you. And then you, yourself, exist without a name, an identity, because it was already taken away from you. I cannot imagine that and indeed it would really be a nightmare. Although there are measures now that have been developed to prevent and stop identity theft, this situation continues. But I believe that complaints about LifeLock are wrong. Identity protection, like insurance, could not really be perfected at this point because it is a new industry. Even insurance, which had been around for decades, still have loopholes.

I really feel for people who have been victimized by identity theft, especially those in the United States when citizens are really identified because of their system.
