I watch other people, years later, struggle through day-to-day, while lacking adequate financial planning because there is no extra money to set aside.
I have seen so many die of some dreaded disease within 1-3 years of having retired, Some do pass on before retirement.
So many I know understand they will work until they are at least 80 y.o and/or until they are no longer able to work.
I'd love to read your rant, IZ! I am interested in your point of view!
By the way, I miss you when you are not posting, as I love you and your posts!

Thanks, you're such a sweetie! I have been pretty busy. Speaking of work -- work, work, working! That's 5 days a week, then I hardly know where my days off go, lol. I have perhaps been playing with fire, but I've been spending some time with ex-bf. Just having fun, watching some dvds and stuff. He's a long bus ride away, with a short run time window, so time is automatically quite limited. Despite much past grief, it is nice spending time with someone who knows me so well and shares common interests.
Anyhow, speaking of work, lunch break is over.
