It is great that you and Glen have made a commitment to go.

The only barriers in life now are old age and poor health. So many people keep delaying their life dreams until …. (fill with your favorite procrastination excuse).

The problem with delaying is that you might not make it that long. I have had so many family and friends die or get diagnosed with some serious illness in the last few years. One close family friend, was 18 months from retirement before dying from cancer. He had elaborate plans to get a motor home and travel around for the rest of his life, but never got that far.

The time to live is now. Sure you need to worry about your future, but I would rather have 5 or 10 great years now and be poor and destitute in old age, rather than squander the next few decades of my life doing things I don’t particularly like.

I know a rich older couple in their late sixties. They have serious money and could afford to do anything they want. In fact, they could have afforded it 20 years ago. The other day, one of them said they plan to start traveling in a few more years.

It is never too late to start, I guess, but how much can they enjoy in their seventies? I have a feeling they will never really travel.

Hey Stephen!
You’re totally welcome.
Think of it this way, you may not have done everything you wanted when you were younger, but right now you still have many oppertunities to do what you want and if you don’t do them now in 10 years you’ll look back and be like “I wish I did xyz 10 years ago”
