Good advice EXCEPT, at 78, I'm not planning to slow down at 80. I have time for photography trips, Nurburgring with BMW, all kinds of fun. I'm not trying to spend it all before I die and making it last until I do is an objective, but slowing down????
I'm blessed and thankful for that. At my age, many good friends have already died. Rather than curl up in a ball, that encourages me to enjoy the life that I have and be thankful for how blessed I am..
