Enjoy Life and Spend It While You Have It

[Kevin]

If you read any advice on this board. I am going to give you some important advice that will change your life from this point on.

My father has Alzheimer's`s it was in the beginning stages last summer and has moved on to be more active. It is very hard for him, a extremely smart man, and a very hard worker. Spent 50 years of his life working daily earning a retirement and pension. My father worked so hard and invested well. He is completely taken care of. He will be completely taken care of. He has traveled around the world and really enjoyed life to the fullest. But he could have enjoyed it more. 60 years of working for maybe 10 years of retirement does not make sense.

Now: I`m not saying go out and completely liquidate your retirement fund and go whoop it up on a world cruise. But there are things that happen when you get older that are out of your control and unchangeable.

Enjoy life every single day! With all the hectic lifestyles we have. Do not forget to stop and smell the roses.

We opened businesses for ourselves for a primary reason. To better our lives. Do not forget that, and make sure to enjoy it while you still can. It can be small splurges or large splurges. Things you always meant to do, and never did. Things you wanted and never got. Plans that you made with your family, and it never worked out because of your schedule. Make sure you are enjoying this ride to the fullest, as there is no second ride.

Make today the day, that you do what you want to do, because you have the means to do it. Plan things that you want to do, and follow through.

By all means our life is a gift to be enjoyed, enjoy it daily.

Very good post Kevin & so true.

I am sorry to hear about your father, Alzheimer's is a very cruel thing that happens. My grandfather also suffered from it.

Kevin,

My father was also diagnosed with alzheimers earlier this year, which is one reason I haven't been on the site lately. He lives 5 hrs away and we're trying to make as many trips as we can to monitor his progress. He's still doing pretty good on his own but we don't know how fast the disease will progress.

Best wishes to all who have family members with this terrible disease.
