Was visiting a older gentleman in my family whom I respect. He lives in a very beautiful area and his partner is just the nicest. He's retired and spends his time fishing.

I was complimenting him and said. 'You really are a lucky guy.'

he said 'OH. I hate it when people say that. This was a plan and I worked hard'.

He then told me about how he worked for the same school district for 30 years! And got a pension and spent wisely.

Damn. 30 whole years.

Maybe have less respect for him and call him out on his bullshit. In the nicest way possible of course.

He'll either see reason or be a liberal scratched, either way you'll learn something valuable from him.
