Jeez, who wants to live beyond being useful? Old folks home? I think not. My father-in-law (ex Marine Colonel) was put in a home. He stopped eating. Game over. I admired him for that. He was one tough ol' bird, but he had dignity. My uncle, also a Marine, suffered from emphysema. When he couldn't climb the stairs to the bedroom any longer, he just used a .357. Now, that was a little messy, but he made his point. I didn't fault him.

Hey, thanks for the advice, but I wasn't looking for any. I explained my philosophy. What I want to know is are there any others, or is this 'live your life the fullest' mentioned on the 911 BBS just a smoke screen?

Hey, if I make it to 75 in year 2020, do you think my S would be worth about a $100,000? According to your estimate of the cost of living beyond Social Security (I assumed that was what you meant). that would be almost 3 years of subsistance @ $3000/mo.

"You've got to make some sacrifices for tomorrow, or you'll never leave today."
I think that's a crock.
