Two "Clinchers" for Me
My assets are NO WAY in your ball park. I retired on a modest income, but am hurting for nothing and do have a lot of fun!
Two Sources of the Courage You Mention:
1. Asking myself, "LitGal, if you died tomorrow, what would you wish you had done?"
The list was very long. Since no one knows how many years of health and mobility she will enjoy, I started looking for ways to expand the number of years I could work on that list. (The career had been great. But it could now be easily crossed off the list.) Eg., the "bucket list" syndrome.
2. The Broadway production of "You Can't Take It With You," starring Jason Robards, Colleen Dewhurst, George Rose, Maureen Anderman. Produced in 1984, available on-line for about $12.
Won the Pulitzer Prize in the late 1930's, HILARIOUS, and deeply inspiring.
DH and I watch it at least once a year, just for the pure joy of it. (We wore out the VHS recording of it we taped back in the '80's. Happily found a DVD on line last month; so now we can watch it forever.)
A favorite line: "Grandpa could have been a rich man.........but it took too much time."
******************************************
IMHO, it sounds like you have plenty of both, $ AND time. You are rich indeed. Enjoy your life!
