You know Bill at 50 I have come to the realization that life is nothing
but
a series of lessons. I figure that I have learned something here and
should
not get up set. I just enjoy being suscssfully retired for 10 years now
and
working out in the shop. I do how ever wonder what today's lesson was.
It'll come to me I am sure. ;~)


You retired at 40? Not for physical reasons I hope. I keep looking at my
ss
statement from da gubmint and they keep telling
me how much I'll make if I work til 70... Damn

Very fortunately in good health.
The SS statement is designed to sell you on waiting longer. Keep in mind
that you will be 8 years of payments ahead of the game if you start at 62.
IIRC odds are that if you die at the age that average person dies at you
will get more money if you start at 62 with a lesser amount than the 70
amount. Now that is looking at it from a perspective of some one that can
do with out SS.
