    I am looking for opinions, need to make a decision.
    I am 74 years old have held a Class 1 licence for 15 years, retired 3 years ago.
    I am required to get an annual medical in order to maintain my Class 1.
    Used to be...when I was working, that a medical cost about 80 bucks or so, now they want $120.00
    and probably going up as we speak...sooooo What do you think???
    Should I give it up or hang on to it, and bite the bullet and continue paying for the annual medical?

    Just looking for a few opinions, maybe from some guys in the same spot...

    Thanks,
    SnowDaddy

    I say keep it as long as you can afford to. It sounds like you don't plan on using it again, but you never know when you might want it.
