25. I'm clean except for a couple Cool Max shirts bought before I knew.

My needs and means are pretty minimal at this age anyway. Grow a lot of my own food, buy used goods most of the time except for curbside vintage, etc. Had to give up going to auctions because I always came home with great stuff that I still don't really need, and the house is crammed full already. Recently snagged a huge mahogany desk curbside that's too big to fit through my narrow doors (old house, bought at auction) so now it's on my porch serving as a big plant stand.

Time to quit!
