Since I make a nice salary I do not need to draw social security until I am 70 1/2 so each year my benefits go up by 8%. Where can you get 8% on your money with zero risk these days?
While I do like to play golf I can actually take it or leave it, but we both enjoy the entertainment TV has to offer, so we love living here.
You can pretty well do what you want when you have a regular income and enough money to live well late into life. At the end of the day I think one needs to have a reason to get up each day and do something productive (sorry gang...golf is not a productive activity) so if you like what you do and can keep doing it, why stop?

My vision of being Productive in TV = Get up, feed the dogs, make the bed, empty the dishwasher, make breakfast, clean up, take a brisk morning walk, shower - then off to the golf course or fitness center followed by lunch, a club meeting and then evening dining and entertainment.
