retirement is a stupid idea.
Most crew work hard - retire and then promptly die.
Instead why not Try spending 40 years moving towards doing something you enjoy - and then keep doing that till you move on from this mortal coil.
You'll live longer and avoid the stress and pressure of having to come up with a huge sum of money by 65. (which in turn will stop you having that heart attack, depression, mid life crisis)
The more interesting older people i know are still busy. The ones that just sit around eating prunes and hanging out in their homes are mostly miserable - and miserable company. And lonely too.
And dont get me started on driving huge caravans (with trains of frustrated drivers stuck behind you) to places where you can park and watch the ABC news and the bill , under the air con- but cant go and walk up that hill / beach / gorge cos the body wont handle it. (should have done that when you were young and could jump off the gorges and pull into barrells)
BB king is still touring at 85, how old is Rupert Murdoch? - you get the idea.
Cracked up at the prunes and ABC news. Crikey!! The Bill finished on the weeknd tho, get used slow moving, angry protestors, filling the streets and reaking of prunes.
So learn to play notes on gtr (strictly no chords) and bonk a young Eurasion chick around ya grandaughter's age.. might just be wise advice.
