Careful, they’ll get you.

Me too. There were some interesting arrangements in the past, it was something folks didn’t pry into. Look at Warren Buffet. He lived with two women for the better part of 50 years and then married the other officially when his first wife passed.

If you could go back to 1986 (noticed your comment from earlier that you retired 32 years ago) and know then that you would live to be 90+, would you have still retired?

I think about growing old and ultimately feel I can’t expect to live past 70 with all of my faculties intact. I hope for it, but I too will strive to retire as early as possible and spend time with family.

That being said, if I knew I would retain my mental acuity into my 90’s, I might work until 70. What are your thoughts?

I can relate and I’m a young person myself. I must say that I truly underestimated folks disdain of her. I thought it was the year for a woman and certainly thought her better than Trump. There was a much larger faction than I expected that simply stayed home and didn’t vote rather than vote for her. Right or wrong (and my perspective is certainly that they were wrong), I think many should have paid more attention to folks very strong feelings about her, myself very much included.

I’ll do some reading in on Lindbergh. You’ve peaked my interest. Thanks again for the responses. Take care.
