47 myself, and had a new daughter and grandson in the same month earlier this year. Unless the bottom falls out, lithium will allow me to retire before 50. Not as a rich man, but with enough in savings to buy a cheap homestead down south (US) for the winters and one up here near family for the summers, with enough locked away in RRSPs to pay for 40 years of necessities. Won't be going on any fancy trips like you guys, but being able to home school my daughter (and one more if my younger wife has her way), and spending large amounts of time exploring the continent in our RV, will certainly create plenty of memories I'm sure. More time I can spend with my new little one(s) while I'm (somewhat...relatively) young, the better
Only reason my sentiment is a hold instead of buy, is that I'm still not sure what the merger will do to my TSX shares and investor relations wasn't much help:/
