I want to keep learning till I die....or get alzheimer disease....at which point I will revert back to a teenager and start having fun again. At that point I will just decide quit the school I am going to, the school of life.
I wanted to study medicine when I was young, that is what I am doing now that I cannot work anymore.

Life gets grand when you retire from work and your SS is less then what welfare people are entitle too. Yep. Been that way since the Vietnam War.

At least we do not have any payments other than a car payment, the house is all paid off. Of course, we do still have utilities and taxes to pay, but between our two social security checks and some stock dividends, we don't have to take money from our savings very often. Living within our means requires cooking home cooked meals a lot which are way better than what they have in most restaurants and what we would pay for the sales tax and tip for the meal covers the cost of making a similar meal at home from scratch. Of course, we do occasionally go out to eat as a treat. About once every three weeks we go out for a fish fry or to a chinese buffet. I am not that good at making Chinese food other than the stir fry and the wife makes the rice...we buy generals chicken in the sue mings frozen dinner packages, it is ok I suppose. We make a whitefish or cod dinner at home with homefries for the price of the tip and sales tax when we go out...I buy whole whitefish from the fish house and filet them myself to save money.
