From jetsetter to jeep-setter, Malaysian photographer/digital artist Yusuf Hashim “works” awfully hard, we think. But he considers himself “a gentleman of leisure who indulges in his passion”. At 75, he thinks “age is just a number”. He hints that life should be lived to the hilt (while you still can) and that “you should spend your children’s inheritance money!” Quite the opposite of what certain quarters advocate: save – and save enough – for a comfortable retirement. He cannot believe that there are folks who have amassed wealth but don’t have time to pursue their interests. “You can be a billionaire, but if you don’t have time (and can’t spend your billions), you’re no different from the man with lots of time, but no money to spend. Both go nowhere,” he said philosophically.
