Friday Question Do you think the best part of your life has already happened? If not, what's your guess about when the best part will come?

I think now is it -- happily married, great dog, great job, and generally good health.

I think the best is always yet to come!

Every day I get is part of the best time of my life. Even a long life is just too short to start dividing it up into bad/good better/best.

I certainly hope the best has not already happened! Honestly, I think the best will happen when I get off my arse and make it happen.

It's gotta get better. Right?

This is a question I do not care to think about at all.

Yeah, the best is past me now. Unfortunately, I was too immature to appreciate it.

Oh hell no :| I don't think my life has really started yet. Team Late Bloomers.

To quote the old man at the table next to my mom and me at the nursing home dining room: Any day above ground is a good day.

That said, assuming good health for Jon and me, and pension intact, I am looking forward to retirement.

I don't know if the best part of my life is past but life is pretty good right now and probably won't get a lot better. I've kind of achieved all of my life goals, which were admittedly pretty modest, and I'm feeling like I'm coasting a bit right now.

My main goal right now that I'm turning fifty is to stay employed for the next fifteen to twenty years until I can cash out my 401K and while I'm doing that pumping as much cash as I can into that 401K since I'm allowed to as of this year.
