Sometime ago I realized that I have had a 'paying' job of one sort or another every day of my life since I was 15 years old, whether it was part-time, full-time, working for Uncle Sam in the US Army, whatever ...
I retired from the 9-5 (which never really was) 11 years ago and became an 'independent
contractor' working as a musician ...
I will sing until I can no longer do so.
ME TOO !!!
PS: forgot to mention that a nice pension and soc sec helps a LOT !!!1
