My kids are grown and out of the house, I have no hope of "retiring", as my parent's generation called it, and I'm working hand-to-mouth. That said, I'd pretty happy. I can take care of my wife, I can keep the pets fed and healthy, and I have NetFlix. As I just turned 50, I have given up hope of making my mark on the world, but as long as I can find work that's fun and challenging, I think I'll be okay.
