That's my longevity plan.

I wonder if she got a chuckle out of this clip from The Sopranos? I sure did.

You know you are old if you remember when $100,000/year salary was a lot. I remember when I was a kid, I thought "Boy, if I EVER can make the $17,000/year my Dad makes, I will be RICH!".

Bill Cosby Himself, he mentions his "$17,000 Ferrari". That will always stick with me...

It's almost always shocking to look back, and realize how quickly standards in cost and salary have changed.
