My kids are grown and out of the house, I have no hope of "retiring", as my parent's generation called it, and I'm working hand-to-mouth. That said, I'd pretty happy. I can take care of my wife, I can keep the pets fed and healthy, and I have NetFlix. As I just turned 50, I have given up hope of making my mark on the world, but as long as I can find work that's fun and challenging, I think I'll be okay.

That's pretty cool, actually.

It is, really. I just worry about the time between jobs. At least I have a nice life insurance policy. Won't make the wife happy, but it'll keep her out of the poor house.

You're a good guy.
