I love my life at 72, even though I can barely afford to keep up repairs around the house (other than those I can do myself- I’m very handy, just not as strong anymore although I work out w 5-15# weights every other day). My boys help when they visit- but all live in other states. I’m having lots of fun with my reinactment group and studying history in real detail ;-D
