You can’t take money to the grave and I’ll never look back and regret spending more time with friends/family. Quite frankly I think the pro 67 crowd has priorities that are way out of whack. The very definition of losing the forest for the trees.
what's the big deal . At 67 or 69 one is super senior and getting 17 to 19 days off a month plus 5 vacations and a couple sick calls a year and you've got eons of time at home and yet still getting tons of extra money for the kids and grandkids and padding the retirement. One still has plenty of time to sit around and do nothing after retirement. I mean you could retire at 55 and then one day die in a car wreck the day after retirement. There isn't a guarantee. I Think it's all in what one desires . I mean The Rolling Stones toured into their 80's as far as age . They are worth millions . They don't need the money. They do it for love of what they do .
