60+ year old thread.

Good advice. Should be directed at 20 year olds especially.

 

NAW, most of them I ever talked to said they might not live long enough to see pension, only time they start thinking about it is when they do!

 

Trick is, to find a trusted financial planner....

Hope the rain gives you guys a break very soon

for no flooding, for getting stung.

don't think I'd go hiking with him again Happy you are no worse for the wear.

 

I can help you all out...

 

Words of wisdom!

I could apply this analogy to my exercise and diet habits i.e. if I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of my body.

 

Morning all!
I have tried over my lifetime to take care of myself.Still in the gym 3 times a week pushing it.I never have done a lot of weight,just more reps.My bicycle rides a week average 50-70 miles per week.Watch what l eat and my glucose intake.Seems like you would be healthy.Then you hear about a guy in the gym that is as healthy as you can get and he croaks with a massive hard attack.
This doesn't discourage me,but you have to think "why am l trying!"

Guess it goes back to when your time is up..

 

Morning all:
You need to take George Burns advice, remember when he said he smoked 9 cigars a day and his doctor told him to quit smoking. He said that he was glad he didn't listen to his doctor, he might not have lived long enough to be able to go to his funeral!

Forget the gym and the bicycle, make homemade wine and don't be afraid to drink it, my old friend Ollie made it to 102 by that method!

 

I doubt it.

Me
I wanna retire
You
You want to do what ?
Ha ,,,,,,must be a joke
Get back to work. See me in another 20 years.

 

Trust me. I'll invest all your assets in cryptocurrency. What could go wrong?

 

There's a lot of that going around.

My folks lived from payday to payday. I had no idea there was such an idea as financial planning until I found a book in the "library" (actually a shelf on the wall--it was a small ship) when I was in my early 20s. There are a few that age who will listen.

 

O you young whipper snappers down there in your sixies. There is Taco life after. I.m 73 and still adding things to my Taco.

 

Keep on adding shit and keep on keepin on.

 

Good morn east coasters! Couldn't sleep, so up early. Helping with Running With the Bears Marathon on Saturday morn. Just a corner sitter, but close to the 6:30AM start, no wonder a late filled position, supposed to be set up by 5:15. AM! Almost an drive therel up, what, at 3AM? Will take a couple old lanterns and a small stove for coffee with me.
Gained back most of the 10 lbs. I lost during that day hike a few days ago. Must have been badly dehydrated. Still ache moving around, not as bad though. Hand washed the truck after dinner last night, need to dust the inside, will be ready for the marathon and the Coleman campout in a week then, making good appearances.

Evening all:
was just out weed wacking for a couple hrs., same for yesterday, when I take my T shirt off it's soaking wet. Went down to the pond and straightened the pipe, then started trimming, almost got done with what I wanted to do when a thunderstorm came through and it started pouring!

 

Was ready to head out the door a bit ago to walk the girls and the sky opened up.... needless to say, no walk

 

Slacker, sound like one of the ladies I worked with.

Hi all...well I made it to 60! WOW!!
My god how the years go by.

 

Carl, unfortunately we have to deal with very high humidity here about 6 months out of the year so I can certainly relate to what you experienced.

Also, most years Mobile, Alabama is the wettest city in the nation but it is still home to me so I just grin and bear (pun intended) it.

 

Morning all:
Welcome Harry, pull up a chair on the porch. Where are you at in NE PA?
Hummm, looks like you're a Mopar guy, you need to stay on the left side of the porch because they aint right!
I must admit though, Sox and Martin did built some awesome cars and those old 426 max wedges were bad A**, the street hemi's not so much!
