Take your wife on as many great vacations as life/health/time permits...
Life and health are both fleeting things...
''Live well...Love much...laugh often...
Scuba should be ''a love'' never a life...
At 68 years old...the absolute worst thing you could spend four thousand dollars on...
Something else to consider...depending where you reside...age 70...is when this type of insurance starts to sky-rocket...make sure you do your homework...ask all the questions...get all the facts...you''ll get to a point where this ''fabulous job'' doesn't begin to cover your basic costs...vehicle maintenance/wear/tear/additional income taxes/fuel...
Finally...your LDS is doing nothing to benefit you...only them...and the better they know you...the more they'll expect you to do at no cost to them...
Working on an ''exchange of favors'' program...is never in your favor...one entity gets what it wants...and the other entity gets screwed...you're working for ''list'' and you get ''free'' dive gear at cost...buying your dive gear at list...will save you lots of money...
I know from where I speak...I had seven years ''post retirement'' at a LDS...
Best...

Warren, you said a mouthful in a short paragraph....And I couldn't agree more! As I approach 69 and therefore 70 I think time with wife and family ..... great times, great trips, great diving. THANK YOU!!
