[QUOTE="campchef, post: 278014, member: 5808"] Please don’t think it’s all about the money and don’t put off that special event until you finally retire. I worked until age 75. I didn’t have to but I enjoyed the work I found in the second half of my working life. I generally continued to enjoy life in the wild but truth be known nature takes a toll. Infirmity and mortality are tough issues to face. Each year past 60 you feel the strength and vitality slowly leave your body. You can’t walk as far, climb as high, step as lively and lots of things just piss you off. But in reality your friends leave you. Some can’t cut it anymore, some choose not to participate, some die and take a part of you with them but memory issues are the most disturbing. Shit happens, none of us are immune. My advice, live every day like it’s your last. Pass on your wisdom to your grandkids. (there’s no need for them to find wet wipes on their own) give your heirlooms (guns, rods, knives, etc) to the kids who will appreciate them and the old fart who used to own it. Don’t let your wife sell your treasures at a garage sale. [/QUOTE]
