It's funny. I never had that feeling until I just hit 45. I realized that I will have to keep working at least until 70-I have an 8 year old-and that I wouldn't have 20 years and a nest egg to go see everything. Very sobering. Don't get me wrong-I thank God every day I grew up under Reagan and have a blessed life-I just wish I could tack on another 20 towrds the end.

I look at all those idiots like the J&J heir who died of an overdose-or a Paris Hilton. What a waste. The places I would go, the things I would do, the books I could actually take my time and read instead of racing through, the classic flicks I have piled up in my DVD collection, etc....

Ahh well, I workout and eat right every day-hopefully I'll have a few carefree years.

keep on thinking like that, Matt - that and being around children (I have a 6yo and am 51) is what keeps us young. I’ve been accused of being a big kid in a grown-up’s body, and I happily plead guilty.

And every once in a while, get your nice, fresh wide-eyed wonder at the world behind the wheel of a convertible with some yippee-kieyay under the hood, turn the key over and GO! There’s lots to see out there, and America is the most beautiful of back yards to explore!
