That doesn't have a happy ending for anyone!

Can you imagine waking up one day -- and it comes QUICKLY as us older guys know -- and being forced to retire at 65ish / or getting laid off at that age -- and you OWE everybody for everything and you have ZERO savings etc. OMG! I can't imagine the feeling in the pit of your stomach that could come from that.

You'd look back at your life and think of all the Louis V... purses... and the lease payments for cars you never owned... and the 25 years you still owe on the last refi of your house (that should be paid for by now!)..... Would all of that "lifestyle" put a smile on your face... or would you think "man, if only I "woulda when I "coulda" when I "shoulda"....
