Dig it, man! I'm 58, retired (at 47) and don't feel a day over 25. But there are some major differences that weren't mentioned. Politics has gotten worse, we're more violent than ever, de-valuation of the greenback is out of control and we've have the WORST President and his illogical policies! Sooooo...., hang in there youngin's, your time is just around the bend... Chow!
