I Want To Live To An Old Age [Old Age]

I kind of expect to. In this new economy, we probably shouldn't even think about retiring until we're at least ninety.

Good luck.
I left the workforce at 42 permanently.
Just lived a different paradigm. Decided to make a life not a living.

Losing a mainsail on the high seas is always, er, interesting.
I was once sailing in the Bahamas when the clevis pin on the windward shroud broke.

@glad18 sure. There is always more.
In the moment is very important and probably one of the hardest things to hold on too.

glad18 · M

@RenaissanceMan Yes, because I also pay attention to the past and future.
Time is such a hard mistress.

Some say 50 years. But, have you put enough aside that, if you had to, could you afford to retire now?

At least I don't owe anybody anything and have a nice house free and clear.

I think you are referring to social security. That program won't be around when you reach 90. If you had good investments and a solid career your retirement should be when you choose

glad18 · M

@jetpack Having always done contract work, I've never known job security. I saw it quickly disappearing 30 years ago.

The economy is the best it has been in 20 years.
