Understood! The way it was written, that wasn't clear. I'm with you. Many of my coworkers have earned far more than me, for far longer, and are still working at 65, 68 , 72....they didn't make the choices we did!

In America that's called freedom. You see life's not fair. And any attempt to make it more fair is wrong and bad. That's what I hear. People shouldn't be allowed to have any influence over the things that will affect them. That would be tyranny. Unless, of course they can afford it. Then it's OK

I admit it. I lost my fight to stay out of it. And I'll apologize for all my offensive remarks.
