OK now to be the sumbitch, and throw a monkey wrench into the mix.
Years ago, when I was young and working with a older healthy guy friend, he was always figuring out his finances. Calculating his projected raises over the years, how much approximately the prices of food, gas, electric, heating oil, insurance, and other necessities would rise over the years, so he could figure out just how much money he would need to have to retire comfortably. (little odd I know, but other then that he was a good guy)
Anyway, he did this for several years, (never taking vacations, never buying a new car, not dining out, they cost too much) and his goal he finally figured out was that he could retire at the ripe old age of 60. He was happy.
Well he happily worked until fifty nine and a half, and as the fickle finger of fate would have it, he checked out early!
So, you never know, you need to save some, and spend some along the
way, and live a little while you can.
Cause today is the present, and tomorrow is a gift that may not always come.

Life is short, make the most of it, get outta here!
