Sorry to hear that we too lost a little money but I was so scared of the stuff going on I pulled almost every single thing before the disaster or else I would be with you.

Yeah, it is. Life can really suck sometimes. Only if you value the wrong things.

My father is 78. He still works full time. Not because he has to but because he wants to. He’s already travelled just about everywhere for work and on vacations. He doesn’t believe in being idle.

I leaned my lesson years ago when counseling new retirees who would show back up at work two weeks later griping about having nothing to do. The only reason to retire is if you hate your job or profession and are looking for a productive change to something else, be it carving lawn flamingos or starting a vineyard. If you love what you do (and I do), “eligibility” for retirement should be based on drooling and wet pants....and I am not so sure about that! Likewise, while a lot of younger workers want jobs, they don’t want to work, so someone has to do well what they won’t or can’t.

I think it is different if people want to than being forced to because all their money was looted though and I find plenty to do and I am so sick of paying so much in taxes I don’t feel like feeding the government hogs anymore than I am forced to now.
