What's your retirement plan?

[Jon Miller]

Live rent free with mom. Receive disability through state of IL.

I'm incredibly frustrated at the situation but am not healthy enough to do much else. Without this assistance and the support of my mom, I'd be in an institution, homeless, jail, or dead.

I was incredibly frustrated with the situation of living in a 9m2 apartment and living on 2 euros a day (5 when my wife came to marry/live with me).

So I moved to Chile.

I relayed my current frustration with Chile a bit in this thread. Sometime this year, if there isn't a significant change for the better, I will put in motion a similarly big move.

But, I thought you were working out and even able to run a bit?

[Jon Miller]

It isn't physical for Sava.

I am suspicious that the solution for Sava is not to follow the 'standard' grind but to look for something alternative, like Aeson.

Yah. You never know where you fit in until you find it. I don't know what disability pays out, but judging from how people I know here who are living on it live, it's more than I had the first 3 or 4 years here. There's an adventure waiting for you out there Sava, if you want it. Sounds like you have a close, supportive family ... which takes almost all the risk out of it. That's been very helpful for me, just knowing that if I do screw it up somehow, they've always got my back.

Closer to home, there's the internet. You have the computer and internet already. $20 will get you decent hosting for a year. $10 for a domain name. The software is free. That's the startup expenses for a business these days. Most of the time you won't make much money. But if you're posting stuff on the internet ... it's not like you've lost anything. Just keep throwing stuff up until something sticks. Then slap ads on it.

The two mix pretty well. If you have an adventure, people might like to follow along vicariously.

Extra calcium in general is not good for older men.

How can more cheese not be a good thing?!

[rah]

I'd like to hear more. I'm old and consume a lot of dairy between my milk and cheese consumption.

[pchang]

I think the calcium is not as important as all the fat and animal proteins. Cheese also has a lot of sodium.

Whats the point of living till 90 if you weren't able to enjoy cheese along the way

[Al B. Sure!]

What's the point of living without goals and challenges?

[rah]

Those goals and challenges don't necessarily have to related to making money. I'm looking forward to having new goals

Hey I'm 51 and consume lots of dairy. Butter is my poison but the nutritionists can't ever seem to make up their mind if it is good or bad for you.

[Hauldren Collider]

Dairy is like half my diet.

Amen!

No, the calcification of arterial atheromas is an important step in the development of coronary and cerebral atherosclerotic disease. When the atherosclerotic plaques calcify the endothelial lining of the blood vessel is disrupted, it can't cover the calcified area, so it retracts, leaving a gap. Platelets adhere to the plaque triggering the formation of a blood clot attached to the wall of the vessel, which either grows and decreases blood flow at that point, or the clot breaks off and blocks the vessel downstream. Then a cardiologist or cardiothoracic surgeon gets rich allevating the obstruction
