I've always lived a healthy life style, never cheat
myself, (Meaning I eat bad-for-me foods when my body
begs me to.) and never look back.
I'm hoping there are many here who feel this way as well.
I was a real estate broker/developer and mortgage banker
for more than 35 years before I tired of it and gave it all up
nearly a year ago to return to the insurance arena.
Don't get me wrong, insurance bores the crap out of me.
What it DOES, makes me sit up and take notice. But again,
getting others to see it from my POV is the trick.
Where some see rainbows, others see black clouds.
Blah, blah, blah I know.
As my first post I simply wanted to introduce myself, and
say hello.
Moving forward, I will be posting stuff that makes you go,
"Hmmmm."
Like the hundreds of self-created memes on my Pinterest page.
Feel free to look at some of them...who knows, maybe one of them
will make your day a little brighter.
Cheers!
Is this a poem? Nothing rhymes. Strange format.

Actually Louie, it isn't your first post. You previously posted in the thread "MORE reasons to save for retirement". Post #56, the tenor of which sounds like you are prepared to offer advice to retirees or about-to-be-retirees. Would that be for a fee?

Not picking on him. I'm just pointing out that his reason for posting was to promote his retirement business.

Um. Yup. That about sums it up.


It's a lifestyle choice.

Gotcha.
