   True enough, especially with our respective governments gutting the pension    
   plans WE paid for, & inflation killing the value of what was actually going   
   to  ever come back to us. . . (sorry, not politics -- just current events om   
   the  category of Economics)

   I remember having that! Fun for awhile, but after 20+- years, I figured   
   enough  is enough, & got a job again, now working two jobs(as usual since   
   having a  child), but pretty much my own hours, so I get plenty of time off.   
      
   I found that having 7 day weekends each week was devaluing them as time off,   
   as every day blended into the next, but then I hadn't earned that retirement   
   yet -   
   - to fully appreciate the difference & to accept it as due rest for a life's    
   work well done.   
      
   Now I expect to work until minimum age 80, If I'm lucky, & keep working   
   2-3jobs at a time, or switch to my own company set (& work one job, 15+   
   hours/day, 6  days/week)

   Nice guy - whatever happened to her? Wasn't a longer term sync?

   Why not? Who could argue with this as a a demand?  Being Canadian (part of   
   the  Queen's Commonwealth, I'll get a g formal letter from Her Majesty when I   
   turn  100. I can't help but think I'll get one every 50 years after, too,   
   until the  novelty of my age wears off. From the Queen, or whomever is on the   
   throne at  the time of each of these milestones -- We also get one(royal   
   letter/greeting)  on the 50th wedding anniversary.  Hoping my wife can pick up   
   on my one little  trick for longevity(not clickbait, as there's nothing to   
   click  nothing for  sale) (not dying--see? Free!) & stick around for the   
   duration.
