My therapist is 67, so it is a concern, though I try to keep it proportionate.

Ok, statistically, but I said what I said because, since we get attached to our Ts, the pain of losing them is just as deep if they are 30 or 60. And, we can "lose" them in all sorts of ways: we move, they move, our insurance changes, their insurance changes, accident/injury, retirement, death. Any of these ways can happen to any T.
