Hi,

You have expressed the central dilemma of life for most people. They start
off poor, work and save, and retire relatively well off.

When young enough to enjoy life to the fullest, they lack the wealth to do
so. When rich enough to enjoy life to the fullest, they are too and lack
the health. :-(

Too bad that so much youth is wasted on those too young to appreciate it.
