Don't Be Fooled by The Retirement Lie
Hmmm, this was actually kind of good:

A brief summary would be of benefit for members.

Agree with Michael - a quick summary or hint, and maybe a clue as to how long it is.

Fair enough, a summary would be good, but just click on it to get the length, about 8 minutes.

I watched the 8 minute video (8 minutes of my life I won't get back) and I have absolutely NO IDEA what this You Tube video was about!? What a waste of time!

Thank you. That means a lot of other people won't waste 8 minutes of their lives.

I was waiting for a summary, but now I don't have to bother.

I agree. I had not seen the video when I posted my snarky remark above. Upon further review I agree it was a waste of time.

It’s a conversation between Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, talking about why wanting to retire to the beach drinking margaritas isn’t a great retirement plan. They’re not wrong, but I don’t think most of the folks here will find it very enlightening.

Thanks. Now I know not to waste my time even if the OP comes back with a summary!

I change things up quite nicely. I must have about 10 different flavors of apple cider to go with my Fireball. I tried another cinnamon whisky, but that didn't work as well. Margaritas wouldn't work anyway. Too acidic.
Did I get the gist of the video??

Wow, sorry guys. I goofed by not putting a summary on it. I'll go back and edit...

Thanks for the short discussion which actually produced posts that had to be deleted.
