I retired at age 53, so I am in my early 60s. Many of them resisted me because they couldn't understand the idea of not working if it wasn't necessary. I considered the phases of my life. I worked very hard to achieve what I have now, but in my last years, I owe it to myself to "stop and smell the roses." In my instance, I departed the nation after retiring and currently reside in Latin America. It made it possible for me to appreciate my new surroundings while escaping all the bad things that were going on in America. Nobody that I know of regrets retiring has yet to come to me.

Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like *Layan Talia Chokr* who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

@ivanriverajr5012 first off when he wore 45 didn't have 6 chips. My point was 45 was the comeback when he couldn't wear 23. If I was reading it I would think that it's not over yet. He might be taking a year off and coming back.

He’s a smarter man than guys like Ronnie Coleman and Arnold ever were. He went out there, worked harder than everybody and beat them by miles, and retired knowing he has a duty to be a father and take care of his health. He’s a greater and smarter man then any of the other body builders that came before him

Dereck was out of shape. He looked flat from the front and wasn't as crisp as at the last Olympia. Hadi, in the evening, had legs that grew like mushrooms and looked like his old self, showing more conditioning than everyone else, as usual. He should win the Olympia. Andrew came back in the evening better than in the morning. I had Samson in second place, and when they announced him as People’s Champion, I said, 'Okay, Hadi is going to be Mr. Olympia.' Congratulations to Samson and his wife that she accomplished a good JOB. No need for Milos. I had Hadi or Samson. Hadi should come back to compete in the Arnold Classic and try to win the $500,000 prize. In Classic Physique, For me, Sommer should have won the Olympia; he was better than CBum. Usually, CBum wins the Side Chest, but Sommer took that shot. Sommer's legs were way better than CBum's, and his double biceps pose was astonishing because his arms are better. His lat spread, abs, and serratus were also impressive. I think the judges wanted to reward CBum since he already has five Sandows.

@@user-dq1kr6zc2t Thanks. I primarily ask for reasons of Health. The one thing I've never really liked about bodybuilding is the long term risks it presents to the athletes health. I mean if they are all cheating then it's not cheating but I would never want someone I care about doing it primarily for their own sake. Probably a good thing he is quitting now.

Would think that the Classic guys are all on a minimum of 2,000mg/week of steroids with some Growth Hormone on top. So less than the open guys who would be on a minimum of 3,000mg/week and 6IU/day of growth. The hard core open guys like Nassar and company were pushing over 7,000mg/week of total steroids. Hence they are no longer here to talk about it. Then of course there is the "Guinness Book of Records" holder Dallas at over 8,500mg/week just of Test. This level of consumption was of course verified by his autopsy results.
