[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, best decision ever.

no one ever says at a funeral of somebody that the deceased wishes they could have spent more time more time at work or making more money............[/quote]

Or that they wore expensive clothes, ate at the best restaurants, drove the nicest car, had the most beautiful home, went on magnificent trips, had housekeepers, nannies, knew all the right people, was a mover and shaker ... one week after you die all that is said is poor thing, she's dead.

The money and goodies it brings may be fun but it's not the only thing this world has to offer. My sister for example is on soulmate number 5, always moves up, never happy. I wouldn't trade places with her for any amount of money. [/quote]

You're wrong on the 'magnificent trips' point. My Dad died somewhat suddenly at 68. We took an extended family trip overseas exactly once, when he was 65. It was a stretch financially at that time, but I'm so grateful to have spent that time with him. And that his grandchildren got to know him better during that week. Those are cherished memories.
