What's the point? do something more constructive, besides Cal to Georgia isn't across America.
What are your plans, why?
Much respect for that dude, I can't even run to the bathroom in time.
???
If you want to make God laugh, tell him all about your plans. If I am still here then, I promise you every day will be a new plan. All I can do is try and take care of myself the best I can each day until then.
I don't even plan on making it to 73, so...
Are you sure he ran? That's only 2.4 miles per day. There's no doubt that I walk twice that distance every day. Then again, I'm only 65. I don't think I'll be doing that at 93. Maybe I'll become a painter.
No. I believe he ran but perhaps he just covered that distance. Being a painter seems ideal if you have the talent. Heck even if you don't have the talent. If you enjoy it then you should do it. There certainly is a great deal of beauty to be immortalized on canvas. I have lost count of all the beautiful sights I've seen in my 78 years that I wish I could have captured on canvas. What would your subject matter be? Portraits? Still life? The ocean/desert/mountains? You have time to think about it m'dear. It's a great idea! I have zero artistic talent. I do enjoy painting scenes with words however and that I can do until I die. It doesn't take agility or great athletic ability or even good health or massive intellect. It just takes curiosity and a medium to convey the words
to others. Thank you for your reply CMI! :)
WHY? Goodness gracious I'm 78 and plan to make it to my triple digits. Why not you too
? Thank you for your reply BR and Happy Tuesday! :)
God willing your path ahead will be both joyful and easy snd
absent trauma or tragedy or pain Sharonna. Thank you for your reply! :)
I admire folk
s of any age participating in life and blowing to shreds stereotypes of what they "should be" like or doing. Thank you for your reply BSurf! :)
The longer I live after I retire, the longer I'll be living on Social Security. I don't want to have the American taxpayer ever be the main source of my income (unless I'm actually working for the government!).
So what are you saying exactly? After retirement you want to die? The American taxpayer isn't your source of income. You are. How many years have you had social security withheld from your paychecks? That is what you are drawing on. It has been invested and earned money all these years. Now if you want to walk away from it that's your choice. But you are NOT living on the dole. It is NOT welfare. It is your money that was set aside for decades so that you would have it to use at retirement. Different strokes. I'm 78 and look forward to livi
ng to a triple-digit age. I earned it. Thank you for your reply BR and Happy Thursday.
After I've received from SS what I paid in to it, plus some interest, I want to kick off. I'd rather have invested that 14% (or so) that goes to SS and plan for my own retirement than rely on that Ponzi scheme.
Besides, the longer I live, the longer I remember the misery of my career.
Oh dear! I'm 78 and I'm planning on living to my triple digits. Why you ask? Well except for having cancer in 2008 and beating it I am in excellent health. Both my mom and her mom lived to their mid-90's and they had lots of health issues I don't have. So I figure I'm probably going to live longer than they did. My Jim is 80 and going strong and he plays tennis once a week and golf twice a week. I expect he'll live to his triple digits too. Life is precious. Every day is a gift. Maybe if you dwell on the good things you have experienced rather than the less good you'll find your life has been a good one. I hope so. Thank you for your reply BR and Happy Sunday! :)
I have a special lady as a wife, an army of wonderful cats and some great friends.
The problem is that once I've received from government what I had to pay in, and once my 401 is used up, I have no interest in living on someone else's dime.
The misery of work is secondary.
I would like to have been dead for 33 years.
Dying at 60 is your goal? I'm 78 and I look forward to living to my triple-digit years char. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply and Happy US Labor Day Monday! :)
