You are the exception my friend. Every older person that grew up with landlines automatically picks up calls from numbers they don't know. It's in their DNA now. My college kids barely answer their phones, it's all texts. You are one of the lucky ones that gets to escape our rat race here in the USA. Don't get me started on how awful this country treats older people. Unfortunately, I have children and assets to attend too here so I can't ever live abroad in retirement (I did live in Thailand and Europe when I was much younger)
