I own my home and land, armed, provisioned and all that stuff.
I was layed off the day after the election and I don't know if I'll get back again (CDL truck driver, no otr ... widower w/2 minor children) ... plenty of younger guys with less medical expectations, etc.
What I mean is .. I'm pretty well OK for now, no retirement (401 .. it disappeared) .. and I had always thought SS would be there anyway.
And there IS a reality to knowing and accepting ones own mortality.
That is something I know great deal about. But you are still alive. Act like it.
