Worrying demographics

I'm a fan of Tom Peter's weblog. Catching up with his feed today I read that....

Males: If we retire at 60, we live to 80. If we retire at 65, we live to 70.

I chew on these unfathomables every now and then. I know that it's likely, short of winning the lottery or finding "the next big thing" that it's likely that I'll end up working until I'm at least 65. And by the time I get there, knowing my luck, they will have raised the bar to 70.

My wife, Linda, who is a very spiritual person reminds me every now and again to make sure I live in the moment. I think I need to work on that more.
