Or, There ain't nothing like Old Age to make you want to die...
I'm not complaining, because after all, it is the natural order, but do you know how much money and assets are tied up by people over the age of 70 who don't know how to have a genuinely good time? Or maybe they do, but their old age and their fears keep them from doing so.
I'm certainly not a Socialist. I just want to see the old geezers spend like drunken sailors on their first shore leave in a year. Don't give it away to a bunch of spoiled, unappreciative relatives, don't give to charities that exist just to give slackers a pay check and don't let government death taxes contribute to the bloat that is our national government. Just get out and spend it on having fun and making people laugh.
Then when the money runs out, die. You're going to die no matter what. Make yourself memorable for the laughter you caused, not for the "good deeds" you did with your money. If you're over 50 and people are "solemn" at your funeral, you didn't live your life the way that we all wanted you to live it.
When my money is gone, I'm going to hike out into the desert and let the coyotes recycle me. Screw the funeral industry.
By the way, it could be as soon as next Wednesday...
(j/k I've got enough to party on 'til at least 2013, unless the cost of living goes up...)

I would be an appreciative relative who would be willing to continue the old farts partying on in their honor, with their money. :)
Yeah, but I want to be at the funeral, laughing with all the youngsters of 90 at the clever things I said when in my 60's. And I don't plan to leave enough money for the party -- so they'll have to use their own.
You guys are the choir; I ain't preaching to you!
I don't think most people know how to have fun. So few people I meet genuinely enjoy their days.
Hey....Money or no money, I plan on having a great time all the way to the end! : )
And watch who you are calling "old geezers"! : ) ha ha
Don't you know that 70 is the new 50, 60 is the new 50, 50 is the new 40 and so on and so on...
I enjoy your blog!
Have a good evening...
oops....I meant 70 is the new 50, 60 is the new 40 and 50 is the new 30....
What do you expect from an old geezer?!?!
