I'm past 65 and still working, but happier than I used to be when I was living in the U.S. That's cause I can earn enough to live on relatively easily here in Korea. A solid group of good friends is another big plus,- expats and local folks. I'll just keep on till I get too feeble. Then head for the nursing home. Or take Bruno B.'s path. Till then, I'm going to enjoy living every day, one at a time.<BR/><BR/>Hugs from Asia,<BR/>~ Sil in CoreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27828358.post-74276315029855428942007-11-30T11:08:00.000-05:002007-11-30T11:08:00.000-05:00In my case I both drank up the retirement funds an...In my case I both drank up the retirement funds and frittered them away on a so-called boyfriend who wasn't a boy and certainly wasn't a friend.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter. Like you, I'm gonna have to work until I drop dead in the saddle.<BR/><BR/>And you know what? That's actually not such a bad thing. I don't do well with unstructured time. The last time I took a couple of years off I wound up nearly drinking myself to death.<BR/><BR/>p.s.

Now I'm looking at toiling away at this desk until I drop because I can't afford to retire.<BR/><BR/>(And my childhood fantasy was to live in the orphanage... that's how bad MY family was.)<BR/>-KellyAertenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263441606866480030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27828358.post-87023066864038383362007-11-29T12:28:00.000-05:002007-11-29T12:28:00.000-05:00Sorry, Sis.

But I'd be intellectually dishonest if I didn't write about ALL my thoughts, fears and feelings.<BR/><BR/>Once upon a time, I cared about nothing more than gay rights.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm totally interested in social security and national health.JoyZeeBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045681895558115673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27828358.post-25747511731560194592007-11-29T12:19:00.000-05:002007-11-29T12:19:00.000-05:00As someone turning 65 in 2 months, I didn't need t...As someone turning 65 in 2 months, I didn't need to read this. :/Bev Sykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794928133704720689noreply@blogger.com
