Blow that dough or keep saving for inevitable?

You will shift from a saver to a spender when you realize deep within that remaining time is your most precious asset. Until then you'll just dance around the edges of the issue...

1st of all, I'm being serious

........
And how did you make that bridge from saver to spender?

I haven't. When you find out, let me know as it might help with some of the odd feelings (anxiety?) when trying to make the transition. Just posted on this in the thread about feeling bad taking money from IRA.....

Yup - excellent insight - it's emotional - and time is all we have.....that money represents saved up time in a sense....hard to figure out what to do with that so that it is spent wisely sometimes....

Saving for the inevitable?
The inevitable is we all die. No need to save for that.
