I will definitely show this to my husband. This is NOTHING but appropriate for the discussion we were having today about how to arrange our finances for our upcoming retirement. He kept using a phrase, I can't remember exactly what it was, but it had to do with holding back or something. I said to him we've been holding back our whole lives. I'm not going to wait until we're in our 70's to enjoy what we sacrificed to have in retirement. We are both in good health now, who knows what the future holds? He did finally relinquish to my way of thinking and we worked out a plan that we both hopefully will be comfortable with as the time approachs. It's a process, but what is that expression about regrets - regretting what you don't do, not what you did do. He always talks about never missing opportunities - well, I plan to take that to heart and quit missing out.
