GOD bless ya, D1; we’ve all had years like that and it really has little to do with age. But at least it all did work out for ya! :-)
Well, there was a tax issue in there too I forgot to mention.
My tax exposure changed last year, and I wasn’t sure how that was going to work out.
Most of my difficulties were centered around turning 65.
It is true time like this can come up at different ages, but there were at least five different issues related to retirement over the last several months.
Each one was an unknown and could have caused me some serious problems.
