Buffett eats his words on growing old

[cdudley]

I just re-read the high times JB interview from 1976. Willing to bet that today he has a different view on what constitues growing old!

High Times: Would you like to retire say at 65 and go into rumrunning or some other kind of activity with a boat?

Buffett: Oh, that's what I'll do. I'll go down to the Islands. If I live to be real old. I'll go down there and become a character in a bar. I'll have enough stories to tell. I mean, what else do you do when you're 65 or 70? You can't get laid....

I wonder how Jane feels about that statement.......

I'm thinking if it weren't for Jane there are several of us here who might be willing to prove him wrong on that point.
Rhumba Man!!!!

I doubt whether any of my "predictions" about old age made in 1976 would be any less comical today.........

Buffett: Oh, that's what I'll do. I'll go down to the Islands.

Lucky for us all that he didn't choose that path.

CLEAN UP ON MONITOR 5 PLEASE

In a few days, Jimmy will be the same age as me: 64...
It does seem kind of impossible we've lasted this long, and that we're not the 64-yr olds we thought we'd be.
Mostly it's pretty satisfying, and if I had Jimmy's millions, I'd likely be even happier!
