And, yes, this is my first post to it.
I never sat around and watched life pass me by.
And I don't do it now.
I'm not retired by choice because I become bored
too easily.
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!

So, you decided to join City-Data, and out of all the forums here, you decided to post in the Retirement Forum in order to tell all the retirees here that you consider retirement to be boring and analogous to sitting around watching life pass you by.

Gotcha.

Well, I really don't understand the reason for your post. Is this a thinly disguised effort to solicit clients for your insurance gig? Or, perhaps, to promote your 'self-created memes' on Pinterest? Either way, you're not retired, you get bored easily and probably won't have much in common with those of us who have transitioned to another stage of life. Why not focus your energies on one of the other hundreds of forums on here?

Before posting them on C-D, be sure both the photos and the words are legally yours. Posting copyrighted images is a TOS violation. That's why C-D is almost meme-free.

And promote his business. I thought that was a violation of CD's terms.
