2. Good rant.

I retired from the federal government last year, and to be honest, between Social Security and my defined retirement, we do okay. My wife is still working full time at a good job, so that helps as well. We'll see how it goes when she retires next year. My point here is not to make you feel bad, I've had some extremely serious medical issues since I retired. It seems as we enter our mid-sixities, the parts seem to fall off. That's the part of your rant that I can really identify with. Everything we've done to our bodies up until age 50, we seem to pay for after that. All I can say is for you to hang in there. Everything in life seems to work itself out some how. At least, that's been my experience. Is it easy getting older? Oh, hell no. But at least we're on the right side of the grass.
