Re: Over 60s Should Be Encouraged To Downsize

I agree that there are areas in this country where I would despair. There are estates and family/social situations that would take a gargantuan effort and support to get out of.

I am in no way saying that everybody has an equal chance in that respect.

And yes, in some areas there are no opportunities and little hope, but as you say our circumstances are not typical, so is that other end of the spectrum not typical.

It doesn't change that most aren't as lucky as me, or you,
I do take exception to that remark, however.

Luck, in my circumstances, has nothing to do with it. Work, and making the most of opportunities that are presented.

What's the famous phrase, "the harder I work the luckier I get."

Good luck with your new venture.
