[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 3370061, member: 22760"] Well I do have some left but at age 66 what is the average life expectancy?? I enjoy my coffee in the morning, reading the paper, still use our Rv, enjoy watching people in Jersey digging out from snow storms on the Weather Channel LOL. I saved to enjoy while I could still enjoy myself, no fun having someone pushing you in a wheelchair at National Parks or not being able to go hiking, but someday all of us will slowly slow down and look back with a smile on our faces knowing that we lived, loved and laughed. My wife and I both retired at a younger age than most. Time is the one thing none of us can buy, so we chose to not worry about $$$. We sleep well every night knowing that at one time we had nothing, but now have something that many people don't have. Health, a nice home, steady income and each other. The gray hairs keep coming, and in due time our batteries will lose their charge, and if we waited till then...............we would've missed all the things we done while we still had life in our batteries. We all are blessed to have a defined pension. Whether in good shape or not, they are going away in the future, we will all be long gone by that time and people will read about them and wonder what happened? How could someone retire in their early 50's? many nowadays work till 66 or even longer, and limp out the door with not a lot of time left on this orb we live on. 1952-??? I want my dash between the years on earth to be spent not worrying about $$$ or anything else, all the years at UPS worrying and running 10-11 hours a day make me appreciate my time more than ever, I could care less if I spend all my 401K money, I still am doing fine, I certainly don't want anyone else spending my $$$ that I busted my butt for.
