Let's see:

Since 2000 my upcoming retirement has solidified into a "never having to work again" situation. My wonderful spouse is still my wonderful spouse, and we both are still in reasonably good health. The kids have grown and gone - all healthy and solvent, and independent.

All of the hard work since 2000 has paid off with dividends!

Has the politics of the country (regardless of which party's position is stated) REALLY affected me in a manner so negative that I have become depressed with life? N O ! ! !

Is the USA still the place where one can pursue life, liberty and happiness?

Yep, I'm better off!
