cody78 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 It's a big one for me...40. Still appear to be the youngest on the thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I'll be 76, with a Best Before date long gone, and a parts replacement warranty that hasn't been in effect for many, many years. Apparently, the fine print mentioned that over 60 years of hockey goaltending voided it. Who knew? Even so, it has been, and still is worth it.

Retired Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 12 hours ago, Murph said: 66 I remember when the Interstate System was new, white concrete stretching for thousands and thousands of miles. '55, '56, '57 Chevys and '64, '65, '66 Mustangs were daily drivers. Rock and Roll was new, the dollar was backed by gold, the Beatles were together and classic Fender tube amps were the industry standard. I feel blessed to have been a part of the greatest time in history. I still remember way before the interstate system wasn't even thought of. Just a double high way. As a kid, in Council Bluffs, We picked Mulberries off trees where the interstate system is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On 12/10/2023 at 12:35 PM, Mr. Gibson said: I’ll be 62 years old. I thought I’d be dead by now, but the Lord is merciful. We're probably in the same boat then. According to doctors, I should have died 7 times now. They can't explain how or why I'm still alive.

No longer have a 401k....rolled it over to an investment firm who pays me some money each month....figured out the government gives us 20 to pay back the taxes that were deferred on our 401K's....the "RMD" is planned out! Sold ALL my real estate, ('cept my house). No gold...a little silver.....wife bugs me to buy gold and silver....maybe.... A few Fender tube amps, Several Gibson acoustics.... have some spare vacuum tubes laying around. So, I'm all set!

RBSinTo Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 We invested in ownership of a large bridge that connects Manhattan to Brooklyn, as well as participating in a couple of funds run by members of the Nigerian royal family, so The Lovely Missus RBSinTo and I are all set.

Medal. Plated. Made Offshore. I remember the strange feeling - before I retired, being in meetings and looking around and realizing I was always the oldest person in the room. But, suddenly, I was the youngest person at the Shuffleboard tournaments ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
