The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The ratio of people ages 25 to 64 to people age 65 or older has been declining...

It would be interesting to see if the ratios changed a little if the age was adjusted from 25 to 64 to 25 to 68 (or even 70). I'm seeing an awful lot of people retiring later v. earlier in the past five years, which may be purely anecdotal. Still, it would be great to get an idea of what the true working age demographic is now v. 1975, 1995, and today.
