For over 20 years I had, by law, to obtain a price for a clients account where price was the same or better than the trade execution I got for stocks in my own account. Didn't matter, the law was the law and I never, not once, violated that law. Probably cost me thousands over the years.
I retired in 2019 and today, manage my own portfolio. I own somewhere in the vicinity of 150 different securities and love the game now more than I did then.
This is what former President Richard Nixon said about retirement: "What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."
In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling, Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive. Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.
So, hey, you, retiree, what keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting to do very little, if nothing?
