Very true. And the SLI is a done deal. In retrospect, I shouldn't of added the SLI stuff. I was more annoyed by Keenster saying he was surprised at all the guys staying past sixty.
Probably another factor in guys staying way past sixty is the decline (or their uncertainty in the growth or decline) in their self-funded retirements such as 401(k) and IRAs.
