Comment on The meaning of life?

The meaning is to live life and enjoy as much as you can along the way.
I’m going to leave my kids more than my parents will leave me, and more than their parents left them, and hopefully they’ll be shaped with better ideals because of me.

I wish I could do better than my parents but that is out of the question. I grew up poor, we were middle class when I was in high school, and then my boomer dad started making good money right as I was graduating and moved out. I make less less than half of what he was making 35 years ago, not even adjusting for inflation. I have no retirement savings but maybe I’ll get a small inheritance if I manage to outlive them both and medical bills don’t burn through their funds. I’m expecting to work for 60 years.
