My doc’s retirement dilemma

I went to the doc yesterday (nothing serious) and it became something of a confessional during my treatment. Hearing I’d written Your Money or Your Life he at first was dismissive (oh i read all those money books), then curious, then confessional. He’s been a wise tighwad for years (his ex hadn’t been, ergo ex)  but his nest egg lost half its value in the stock market plumet. Which is why he was treating me rather than fishing – he can’t afford to retire. A recent AP article (link below)
