And if you get too old, you can't connect with your old friends without a Ouija board.

Seriously though, I worry about retirement. Work is like, 90% of where I socialize.

Yeah, I was lucky that I moved here when I was young and participated in a lot of activities that introduced me to a lot of people. School & work also helped.

I couldn't imagine moving here if I was older.

My wife and I I lived in Vermont when we were a lot younger and had a bunch of friends. We’ll be coming back back after 30 years so I’m sure we won’t run into many of the people we used to know very often and we’ll also be like 45 min north of areas where we used to live. We do have family in VT. so that helps and I’m a musician so I’ll be out playing music as often as I can and hopefully making some new musician friends and connections that way. One of my my best friends here is 25 years younger than I am so age really never factors in for me. I’m looking forward to making lots of new friends!
