Do not be scared of retirement finances, start saving as soon as you earn money , even if it is a small amount. You have time on your side when you are young. Life is all about discipline : in school, work , marriage and saving money.

Aw man, I wish I had that advice much earlier. Drat. Easy solution...don't get married. That's the advice I needed earlier.

I often cite that advice, but, humans do what they do: Fall in lust, err, I mean, Love, get married (or get pregnant then get married), buy a house, raise children, lose a job, wish they never had children - but they love their children, want to separate but are too fearful, yadda, yadda. Very common. Very first world humanity. - - - RE motorcycle: The first scent of a separation, I moved my motorcycle to somebody else's house.

If there was ever a group of people to avoid relationship advice from it's a bunch of older single guys on a motorcycle forum.
![]() Just one more reason why we work so hard to keep the conversation focused on motorcycles and motorcycling.

Like my ol huntin buddy Maggie used to say (who was married 3 times)
Love is grand..... Divorce is 100 grand.

It is easy to drift apart when your jobs and household chores become your priorities. Developing different interests and friends doesn't help either. I became aware of it after I stopped playing baseball and retired. We were more like roommates by then.
But fortunately I realized this was the same girl I married decades ago and loved to be with. So I started treating her like I did before we were married. The first step was date night once a week at our favourite Italian restaurant. Then the occasional hug, or a snuggle before falling asleep. Amazing how both of your attitudes change when you share a little love. The old adage "Happy wife, happy life." certainly has a lot of truth to it. I bought a motorcycle thinking I could enjoy the fun I had as a young man. But I soon found out you can't go back in time. My riding buddies are all gone, and spending evenings at a donut shop talking to strangers isn't the same. But I love my weekly day rides even though I prefer to ride alone.
