It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

it might be interesting to more than 'seniors' and draw out some new and different perspectives?The last one got me thinking about how much time I have? How much time each of these systems will require? How much time will I be able to set aside for family? How much time I will have away from the system?

I don't mind 'hippie' or 'liberal' or a few others but in the end I'd rather not be stuck in a box by any label...I'm 68 and don't feel old yet.
I really like the discussions here with folks from all different ages and 'come froms'.

Maybe instead of "Seniors," we call it something like "Aging and Disability."

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

In the US, in case the good folk from other areas of the world are not aware, we're suffering from a seriously divisive government. I have no tolerance left for creating another us versus them situation.
I was hoping to address the issues facing us older folk who need to emphasize and or elaborate on the time portion of system designs. I assume since I started this thread I can delete it. Please, let's keep it on a useful track.
