With inflation hitting 3.7% in September, the real yield has now been negative for 26 years.  No doubt the rate is going to 4% in 2 weeks, but still the way government works, they're only doing it because inflation is going to 4%.

If there was any danger of an interest rate winter, the government would have surely raised interest rates above inflation at least once in the last 26 years.  To now be letting 3.7% inflation slide with only 3.7% interest, there's little chance of anything changing.

So after biting the bullet & self pleasuring despite a nasty chafe, a most unexpected thing happened.  The lion kingdom woke up hornier than ever, after having a super erotic dream.  It goes against the traditional lore of self pleasuring defeating libido.  What probably happened was the imaginary imagery turning into a super horny dream.  Lions are never returning to teenage hormone levels but there's still a monster inside.

The back to back washing machine returned for a day. It definitely hurt more than yesterday. It's unknown if it's cumulative fatigue or the thicker sandals. The days of higher mileage yielding higher benefits are over. There have to be off days after a certain age.

the decline has been swift after 80.  Cataract surgery for the mother & for the father, an official diagnosis of dementia.  These things come in unplanned roundups rather than continuous news feeds.  Lions pondered the odds of dementia causing a financial disaster.  In the old days, his anxiety attacks cost thousands.  That would be millions now.

The AI summaries say the old man won't make it to 90.  We always thought it would be 90+.  The problems are falls.

A hit showed 3.3 years left before entering a nursing home.  Reagan had 10 years after his diagnosis at 83, but with full secret service.  They report really low longevity for regulars diagnosed after 80.

 Unlike coworkers who got fired after hitting this phase in their 20's, lions could stop working whenever they needed to.  It would take a big move, a less convenient neighborhood, leaving a lot of memories.  Definitely getting close to the phase where continuing to work would be exceptional greed, even if it's been a sideways dumpster fire.

 Lions spared the world from another marriage to anxiety attacks followed by dementia.  A male dominated career & exposure to the ASMR world were a lucky break.  Suspect young lion was a creepy jerk because he always knew what would happen if he ever got accepted.  Later in life, you're facing severe competition.

There's little information for care givers.

 Generally treat everything they say as the dementia talking & join an alzheimer support group.

That would be a phone in affair.
