RE: Lifestyle LossPorn

in LeoFinance4 years ago

At that point, does #lossporn become the norm, old people complaining to each other about their illnesses, failing body, and lack of government pension? They would also mention their ungrateful kids,

My brother was here this weekend. We had a good time doing nothing special besides talking and being together. Failing body is evident. Old men need to pee often. We did some traveling around and worked hard at getting our sequences synched. :) Oh, and his youngest, who followed his example of getting his degree in his early 30s started work Monday after receiving said degree. No complaint.

It is just exactly time for him to make his 'retirement' decision for the year. February is the month for annual bonuses and the pension reset. After talking to him about it a lot this weekend I'd guess it's probably 60-40 that he'll work another year. At this point money has very little to do with his decision...

My body failed me at 16 and has never recovered, so I am not really looking for ward to the quickening of the age decline on top.

Do you get the feeling that money should always have little to do with the decision to retire? I am hoping to "retire" from necessary work one day and extend the work that I love doing until I die doing it. Dreams :)

Hope you have made it through the worst of it mate...

yeah, money should have very little to do with it.

His is even more so. He is completely vested in his penison plan so all he'll get added annually from here on is the interest. So there is no particular monetary reason to stay longer.

The CEO would like to work out an arrangement where he just works half time...

We were actually probably comedic with our pee schedules. In a certain old folks sort of way.....
