2. Woodstock is 55 in 2024. Not eligible for Medicare or SS

I was born 10 years earlier than Woodstock and I can't take full SS yet.

3. I guess it's obvious that I'm more than eligible for Medicare

For real. I used to perform arithmetic without aid of a calculator and provide the results with confidence. It’s not necessarily harder to perform the operations in my head, but the end product is incorrect with greater frequency as I get older.

4. I worked in the accounting department of a major furniture manufacturer and retailer

Until a couple of years ago when I early retired from my job to take care of my MiL after an accident. She's just gone into memory care with frontotemporal dementia.
But my point is that when you have to use a calculator all day (as I did, for years!) you get used to catching yourself using it for stupid crap like...adding 2+5, or subtracting 10 from 30.
Then you laugh at yourself. It's about all you can do!
