“Don’t stop going to your hair salon or barber,...”
What hair?
Here’s the original, I thought I had read this before.

I’m banned for life from Facebook. I go to other social media and there’s nobody I know there.
I’m almost 70 and I’m still looking for SS. They say they are working on processing my claim but it can take years.
Sorry folks, this reads like a leftist wrote it through and through.
I think a lot depends on your projected life expectancy.
If you think you’re gonna croak early, go for it.
I split the difference and went to 65 which was my FRA.
Your congress critter (especially if you’re in a contested district) can be VERY helpful with this.
Retired at 60, spent first 6 years of "retirement" rebuilding our Victorian era money pit.
That meant moving over 88,000 pounds of rock over 100 feet by hand and similar amount of concrete in by hand, roofing, siding, structural, etc.
In the last year, at 66 and now 67 years old, have finally been building my own business and the income is going up.
Taking a small amount to time for snowmobiling with my Skidoo Expedition, exploring with our Unimogs, snowshoeing, hiking, etc.
Oh yes, and Ham radio, for rally sprints, Climb to the Clouds, New England Forest Rally, etc.
The financial advice was short sighted, and frankly, a bit silly. Take away: don’t get your investment planning from chain email.
So you spent it?
***********
Some don’t look to the future or they see their future as a
worker/employee/owner/etc and don’t plan to move away
from that position. True some spend without a plan to the
end of their time.
I’m 71. Why do I always dislike instructions from others on how to live?
��Respect the younger generation and their opinions. They may not have the same ideas as you, but they are the future and will take the world in their direction. Give advice, not criticism, and try to remind them that yesterday’s wisdom still applies today.
I wasn’t sold on this one. I do not respect communism and brainwashing.
If this is what they think they want, I am speaking out.
All this other milquetoast is fine if it applies.
STEP #1
Pack up Your stuff.
STEP #2
Put it in the car.
STEP #3
Get in the car.
STEP #4
Drive to the closest non taxable State. Stop there and breathe the fresh air while deciding which non taxable State to go live in. Buy a Firearm.
FL, TX, NC and many other options.
...and wind up in the cult of the Branch Covidians...no, thanks. :-)
Didn’t he do suicide?
I used to live in LA (lower Alabama). An older couple moved in next door. They had lived in Massachusetts their whole life. He was thrilled about how much money he didn’t have to spend. Example: My property taxes on a 1/3 acre lot with a house was $350/year.
True. Only a few weeks ago, I heard someone remark that denying your children generational wealth in order to "build their character" is a largely white Christian mindset. Perhaps especially a white Protestant mindset.
Jews, Asians, and Muslims all want to pass on wealth to their children, and assure that each generation is wealthier than the one before.
But Anglo-Protestantism seems to have developed a mentality that each generation should make it on their own. Leave all your wealth to charity. It "builds character" to toss you kid out at 18 to fend for himself.
In an all white Protestant world (and I'm Catholic), it might work. But in a diverse world, it puts your kids at a competitive disadvantage to other children who have the financial backing and nepotistic support of large family networks.
I’m going to the bank this afternoon and if all goes well, I can retire early!
I’m so excited I can hardly put on my ski mask!
“I wondering if I should start taking Social Security at 62 when my birthday comes around this year”
Wisdom dictates that it should be taken ASAP. Run the numbers. You’ll never recoup that which you never had.
You are the geezer email king.
Good job.
