I concur. Dad retired longer ago than he intended to live. Figured a massive coronary would have done him in 20 years ago. He was able to spend most of his retirement funding medico and dental professionals. I have no plans to take up space affording the insurance industry and health care machinery massive profits by my consumption. There are more starving younglings out there needing to make a stake so they can produce more workers.
