40 up to 60 is fine... don't waste those years though... make money in those years because old age goes on for 20 more painful years after that and if you want to survive them comfortably, start thinking now.

I tell flea and Dovey all the time..... dont waste your forties.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on June 06, 2024, 11:48:03 AMThere's a flaw in the basic premise of that proposition.

For the question "too old for what?" there's a sliding scale of answers.

It's not one-size-fits-all even for individuals.

*snif*snif*

Smells like social media clickbait nonsense.

I thought of the question, it wasn't click bait. When a person retires or close to retirement, they have to plan ahead. The gov. have upped retirement age where I live and its really dumb because office Johnies can work forever but builders can't.

People must pay themselves first by putting aside money for their retirement years. Joe didn't and he is seventy and destitute.

My way of building fortune was to pay off my mortgages 15 years in advance..  as well as putting aside money but the second option was forced on us in the way of compulsory superannuation payments of 9%....lol


I like real estate... it's safe and consistent where I live.

Unfortunately you won't be getting any of it. Since you turn your nose up at it,  I'll take my business elsewhere.
