We all have daydreams about what our retirement might look like. Maybe it's traveling the world, taking up a hobby we've never had time for before, or simply being the best grandparents ever.
To achieve those dreams, we usually try to save some money on our own and get a job with a good retirement saving plan.
They met 20 years ago when they all got jobs in the same workplace and became pretty much inseparable.
Mostly as a joke, they decided that they'd retire together when they were 60 and live in a big communal house.
It started when they stumbled upon a pretty rough property in a small village suburb of Guangzhou. While many people would see it as an eyesore, they saw the bones of their retirement dream.
Altogether, it cost about $580,000 USD, but the end results are incredible.
It features floor-to-ceiling windows, plenty of comfy places to hang out, and there's even a swimming pool in the yard.
The cooking area is spacious enough that the seven friends can cook together without being in each other's way, and the communal table fits all of their extended friends and family.
Just look at the view from those windows? It's so lush and green!
Imagine waking up to that each morning knowing that you had no obligations and great friends to spend the day with. Bliss.
It's a place to drink tea and socialize, which they all love to do.
Again: isn't that view spectacular?
The women are currently in their 30s and raising families, but they've already started the next stage of their plans.
Some will learn to cook large meals, others will focus on traditional Chinese medicine, maintaining a home vegetable garden, or playing music to entertain each other.
One of the women, Jin Du, said, "We're all independent individuals but we can communicate and rely on each other at the same time."
I'm totally jealous of their retirement plan, aren't you?
