OT I'm with you but......... On the other hand commend him for enjoying life to its fullest. Lots of great memories for him when misfortune strikes (if ever). So be a little jealous, for when disaster strikes and you continue to hold on better then most, staying conservative in case it gets worse, you can fear that by the time your mentally able to enjoy, you wont be physically able to follow through. I personally know a couple of my fathers friends that rode the bubble up, spent lavishly on trips, cars, houses, food. Now basically living off meager pensions and social security, renting, and watching alot of tv. Now age 65-75. Ya know what? They wouldnt have traded the experiances for their pre splurge lives style. For them seems that reminising is as good as being there again. Versus my dad, well off, comfortable, can do what he wants just doesnt do as much "just in case it happens again". He is running out of time. Who do you feel sorry for? No critique, just lamenting To each his own!
