Once your needs are met, there's no shame in doing something you enjoy. It's all a matter of setting priorities. But DENYING yourself the opportunity to do something you enjoy, once your [and your family's] needs are met, simply because you think you'll have plenty of time, money, and health when you retire is a gamble. My dad didn't live long enough to retire. He was going to build a "pullin' tractor" [most likely stock or near-stock] when he retired, and then go have some fun. He had the money and the skills to do it, but he thought he'd wait until he had "all the time in the world" after he retired. That time never came for him.
Once the needs are met, and you have some savings, and if it does no harm to anyone else, there's no sense in denying yourself an activity you enjoy, just because you think you'll be just as healthy and able later in life. That's the simple point I've been trying to make. Not trying to upset anyone, or to encourage young folks to be slackers. I just wish more people would've tried to understand my point before getting upset what I'm saying. I don't wish to put anyone in a bad mood...but then again, I suppose that being happy is a choice some folks make...while others choose to be otherwise.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
