It's not a mid life crisis!    We had four kids.  We needed the station wagon, mini van type of vehicle.  Well the last of the kids has moved out.  I wanted a smaller car.  Why not get what I want, what I've always wanted?   My age gives me better insurance rates.  I have established years of paying on credit.  I have a little more money in the bank.  I'm getting that new car!!!!

Still Working Many of us are still working.  Dreaming of retiring.   The drastic changes in our economy has forced many of us to postpone our dreams of retiring soon.  I'm surely not ready to retire.  Financially, I can not afford to retire.  I don't want to retire.   I was close to Fifty when The business I had worked for was sold.  No notice, just sold.  I did not stay with the new owners.  I found myself with several years of experience, but no degree to back up my knowledge.  So I went back

Use it or lose it! Stay active.  You don't have to participate in a marathon to keep your self fit.  I find that the more a want to be lazy and lounge around the house, the more my body stiffens.  So I walk my dogs, work in my garden, take short rides on my bicycle.  I not only get lots of exercise, I meet people trying to do the same thing.
