I've been thinking about this a LOT lately as friends my age (now 58) have begun retiring. Also going through a divorce, so a lot of introspection going on for me. I took a 2nd mortgage on the house to buy my ex out.

I could sell half a dozen games or so and pay off my rental house.

Or sell 10 or 12 and pay off the 2nd mortgage.

Or sell them all and just about pay off the rental AND the 2nd mortgage, but then what do I need this house for? One of the biggest reasons we bought this ranch was to build a killer game room.

I hardly play the games any more, the last couple years I have to force myself to start at one end and play a couple games on each machine just to keep them loose. I want to whittle it down to 10 or 12 machines soon, but not til I have a couple good parties so the people that have never been to my house can get to play all of them before they're gone. Sure, I think they're cool and like looking at them all lit up, but I dont really need 2 dozen of them.

Bonus points for all the old timers that know where that's from!
