My mom traveled until 84, ate out until she died at 90 and bought something if she wanted it.
Thanks for the good laugh. These days, 65 is a long way from "elderly" for most of us.
In my bridge club, there is this youngster who is 92...
That's what you think.
You do not see the ones who did not make it. Heck, many posters on this forum stopped posting, and I found out why.
Let me just say they were a lot closer to 65 than 92.
He died while playing tennis...
The bottom line is he was reasonably healthy, did a lot of sports. When I was working at one employer, there was a study, that people die two years after retiring from this company. I got laid off, so I won’t have to worry.I do not play tennis and never will.
I was joking about tennis causing death.
And about that "study" that people who retire from this company at 65 and die at 67, this has been circulated on the Web and mentioned here on this forum too some years ago.
It is a myth, or rather a hoax.
