Default New lease on life. More years to ride

Had maybe 4 more years to live. For this reason I spent a lot of money on bikes
and every second that I could riding New meds came out recently and problem will be gone for sure in a few more days. I thank God and the men and women that put in long hours to create the medications.

The problem I now have is that I am going to live and I still want to spend all my money on bikes and ride as much as I can. Wait a minute, I just realized now I need to start saving for retirement. Oh well good problem to have. God bless all of you my brothers.

Glad to hear you're health is improving. There is a balance between living for today and saving for tomorrow.

I have several friends and family that saved loads of money and worked hard all their lives only to have a stroke or die early. And an old miser friend who has over a half million in the bank and lives like a tramp.

So just enjoy your days and don't worry about the future that may never come !

One of my best friends recently retired young (59). He will be looking for a job pretty soon in my opinion he is bored to death, and he is under foot all the time, me i am self employed and i dont see ever retiring, not because i love my work but because i cant save a dime, money runs out of my pockets i guess. Live your life just as before but the burden is gone so the enjoyment should be better.
