The question of raising the retiral age is difficult because some people

Seriously, not everyone can contribute as once they did to their company
or organization but they remain at elevated positions with salaries
which more than compensate for the work they perform. I do believe that,
given the change in longevity, the age for receiving full social
security benefits should be progressively raised to 70 years but ways
should be sought to employ older people usefully without loss of salary.

Huh? If one chooses to live in constant fear they may as well be

those who need to be threatened to practice morality are infantile and
ignorant.

There is no afterlife, what a ridiculous concept. Do you know where
you go when you die, back to where you were before you were born, do
you remember being there, of course not... when you die you decay
precisely the same as spent ejaculate and menses on the back seat of a
DeSoto. The only afterlife anyone can have is for their deeds they're
remembered for in life... why else are there tomb stones... anyone who
believes in afterlife should have no qualms about being buried in an
unmarked grave and in fact should stipulate precisely that, otherwise
they're both a hypocrite and a fool.

Good for her. When I went to Europe with my brothers and their wives it
would have been a real hassle and expense for my wife to get the time
off. i had not been expecting much of that trip because it was a group
trip and I realized early that I was going to be dragged to places they
wanted to go and not be able to go to places I wanted to go. So I made a
deal with her to take her two years later when she would be retired.

That worked out much better. We had a great time. We had a few duty
things to do in Denmark but then wandered around Germany, Holland,
Belgium and France for a couple weeks. We had a great time.

You can hardly find anywhere to cash them here nowadays. Banks or maybe
exchanges only, but they charge you the earth in fees and bad rates. The
ATM is the way to go. Mind you, a debit card doesn't work like a debit card
in the foreign country. You have to sign, but it still comes from your
account immediately and if the net is down, it won't work at all.

You are right. They can be handy. I have had credit cards since I
graduated from university. I have never used them unless I had the money
in the bank to pay them off, or if I was expecting some money in time to
pay them. Back in the 70s it was common to pay by cheque, but credit
card was less hassle.

I was surprised to discover that I knew people who had got themselves in
the position of so much credit card debt that they had trouble meeting
their minimum payments. I was talking to my nephew last weekend. I knew
that he had got himself deep into credit card debt but was surprised to
hear ho badly.

He had been up t $50 K and was paying more than 20%. He has been
working his ass off to cut it down. He got a loan to over it and is now
paying a fraction of the percentage. He now pays less per month and is
paying off the balance, not just the interest.

I use my credit card to pay my phone and internet bill and my satellite
bill and the very rare online or telephone order, and I use it for meals
and hotels when travelling. And that's about it. If I am not going to
have the money to pay the bill when it comes, I don't use the card.
