I'm sorry Anno, I didn't mean to discount aging family care responsibilties.

Sad thing is that, you will get more time much later but not in the way you might want it.

As for the free personal time, we have at home, probably a reason why he and I have been so active on our bikes and travel in past few decades. No point in waiting until retirement to such things, to travel..because we are healthy now. I'm constantly reminded of this when I chug along on bike while he cycles ahead of me..I know it will not be like this forever.

He is 66 and I am 50.
