Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

I'm 83.

Except for brief period in the 50s when I was doing my National Service,
I've worked hard since I was 17.

Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years.

I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired.
Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.
