I recently speculated that if you see those 60 year olds (especially the "Y's") on the golf course they would have baggy shorts riding down 6 inches below their navel (a la urban rappers) and you'd have to look the other way when the bend down to pick up the ball. Then I was corrected and told they probably wouldn't have enough money to retire.

What do you envision will define future waves of retirees?
You really don't have any good thoughts about people younger than you? Do you actually know enough of them to make these kind of statements?

There are some of us that truly are not as described above....and will be retiring here in TV's and will live right next to you....or down the street...

There are many Xer's as you call us that do not qualify as an urban rapper....or even Y's that don't qualify....that is a very small percentage.

I think perhaps you should take time to get to know some people that are in this age group....see that we are not so bad...

Please do not put us all in to one category. It is hurtful and unnecessary.
