"Totally agree with you on both points: Kids/family is truest purpose. The whole reason we are here is to love. Thats your real purpose. Everything is either done from love or the absence of love As it relates to retiring retiring is not the goal - the goal is to construct a life you never want to retire from. Of course at some point you should stop working in that sense but you should still be very active. You need to keep yourself sharp and you do that by doing what you love still striving to get better. You need something to get out of bed for. It cant just be golf and reading the paper."

Just $1M . a number on a screen. You think this $1M will magically solve everything Take dating: you isolated yourself. Don't know any girls don't know how to talk to them. So you resort to flaunting your money to try to get them to like you. Will you be happy feel when you realize they're just using you What"
