Where is your life heading and where do you plan to be ten years from now?

[yick]

Oooh - good question!

Stay in China more than likely, but as we can see - how long can it last? It is a reasonably safe bet for now but the geo-political landscape can change and new people come into power and old people are out on their ear but saying that - I think I should be good for the next ten years or so.

I had a plan of retiring in Spain - in ten years from now I will nearly by 60 so I am now thinking along the lines of where I am going to call home as a final resting place - it certainly won't be the UK and now I have my passport from a Latin American country - I have options - Brexit (up until now...) has put a big hole of my plans of retiring in Spain but we still don't know what the final outcome of that will be - maybe we will be able to settle in Europe like we could before but it looks doubtful that it will remain the same - this is what happens when you give cretins the vote - they'll actually use it if you put out a xenophobic and racist enough campaign.

Latin America is a solid plan but buying something there is a lot more expensive than it is in Spain! I loved Colombia - I could retire out there, thankfully, I am allowed to legally settle anywhere in South America - Brazil sounds good but I don't want to learn Portuguese, I don't want to deal with Argentinian/Uruguayan winters, Chile is expensive (and it can get cold in Santiago in the winter) so it will probably be Peru!

I would LOVE to retire in Malaysia but I don't think I want to put my eggs onto a renewable ten year visa where - when I am too old to start anew - they kick me out - I want that security that when I retire - I am able to stay put wherever I am.

Marriage and kids - I wouldn't say no if the right woman came along but as each passing years leaves me - it becomes less likely - I have got to an age where I am more than fine on my own. If I get to 50 and I am still on my ownsome then that is how it will stay as I prepare my future of jubilacion

I'm more at the don't buy green bananas stage of life. If I had to formulate a plan of action it would be simply try to discern God's will. My plans haven't worked out terribly well, maybe He'll propose something interesting.

God will probably want you in a nursing home being beaten up by blacks, which will be poetic justice for your boomerish support for the end of segregation.

Beaten up? They don't want any part of me.

And I keep telling you, boomers had nothing to do with the civil rights revolution. That was some Jewish fellows in the prior generation. I actually saw segregation in the South in operation, something you have no familiarity with. If people want to segregate themselves naturally, great, but to use the power of the state to enforce it offends both human decency and proper libertarian sensibilities.

I will say, though, that segregation was enforced evenhandedly, at least in my experience. It's not like whites could go wherever they wanted. My cousins and I were kicked out of the balcony in a movie theater in southeast Missouri because it was the "colored section."

Even if true, we are talking about in several years time and your medical deterioration. Those sheboons have time on their side.

Yes, boomers pushed the concept that to use the power of your own state, which was supposed to benefit you and your culture, was evil if you were white. Libertarian principles? That was just something the Jews pushed to some stupid shappos goy. I hope you will figure this out at some time when you are being beaten by sheeboons. I don’t know why I hope you will figure this out, but it will make me feel better for some reason.

Keep buying those bananas as dark green as you can! Travel, write, exercise and you’ll be vibrant for decades to come.

I highly recommend neuro-plasticity treatment to reactivate the under active areas of the aging brain. And I know you don’t quite agree with it, but TRT is a new lease on youth. Look into it GSJ. You won’t be sorry.

[Contrarian Expatriate]

Life is a series of ups and downs, but at this stage, it has been overwhelmingly ups. That won’t last as surely as the sun will set, but my plan is to DELAY both cognitive and physical decline with staying active, surrounding myself with youthful friends, continuously traveling, and keeping life as a permanent vacation.

I have a stream of business/financial goals that are nicely falling into place, and I have a handful of personal goals to accomplish before I am ready for the Jimmy Buffett life on a beachfront.

If you focus too much on the long term goals of life, you miss out on the fun of the journey.

The answers make me wonder about the age of posters here. A lot of you fellows (Yick, Contrarian Expatriate, GSJackson) seem a bit older, wiser, the "got their ducks in a row" type of man. Other men like Winston and Cornfed may not seem like they have their ducks in a row at all, but age-wise are getting up there, too. How old are you guys, anyway?

I feel like we may have to do a reunion at some point before folks start kicking the bucket.

Early 50s and life has never been better (yes, really).

Nearing 50 - like CE - these are great times of my life of doing what I want to do, also, there is so much wealth in 'knowing thyself' and not trying to force round pegs into square holes - it takes that long to get to know yourself, what you can and can't do - my life kickstarted in my thirties and it has been great ever since in all honesty.

[yick]

Yeah, I think the best thing about age is the ability to let things go - it brings a more philisophical dimension to life - there was a great line in Narcos 3 via the character 'Chepe' and he says 'life is about accepting things you can't change' I think that's a great line - what you can change is within yourself and how you see things - in my twenties - if I liked some woman and she didn't like me back (which happens a lot...) I would have gone to silly lengths to get her to change her mind but it was fruitless, now, I let it go because I have very little control over that situation - I realise what I can change and control (to do with myself and how I see things...) and what I can't change (most things and how others see me or react to me...) life becomes simple and easier to manage.

It took years and years to 'get it' though, I think you get it though. Winston? He believes in Murphy's Law - some things are to do with The Universe - the Scots have a saying 'if it's for you, it won't go by you' a lot of it though is his refusal to take responsibility - if he can blame Murphy's Law then it saves him from taking responsibility for it.

I think my advice to any younger fellers is try not to smoke, drink or take drugs, exercise regulary, read and study things, travel, be polite and nice to people - and if you manage to keep your hair past 34 - thank The Universe and remember to put Aloe Vera on it once a week (which is what I am about to do right now...)

A septuagenarian later this year, but I still feel frisky and, as God is my witness, the young babes still check me out.

Corny, I'm not deteriorating medically, as far as I can tell. I started exercising regularly in 1965 with running and the old RCAF 5BX program, and have never stopped, continually adjusting programs as the body ages, which you have to do. And you have to be diligent about avoiding injuries, which you say put you out of the resistance training game. I've been doing dead lifts with a heavy rubber band instead of weights for about two months, and as a result am a little better off physically than I was two months ago.

CE, my neuro-plasticity plan involves taking a page from your book -- learning languages. By the end of the upcoming three-month Romanian tour I plan to be chatting up the Dacian babes in their native tongue. The only cognitive deficit I've noticed with age is very short-term memory loss. If I want to remember what I planned to do ten seconds ago I need to take a second and sort of bookmark it, or it might disappear. I can't say the increase-testosterone diet I've been on for the past year has worked wonders reinvigorating the libido, but then I'm in the U.S. and never set eyes on an attractive woman. Do you feel you're still getting results from TRT?

Just read Yick's post above. Still got all my hair, so there's that to be said for low testosterone.

The basic libertarian principle is indisputable -- government equals power, and government in anything resembling a representative democracy can be and almost always is purchased. And we both know who has lots of money and much experience purchasing governments.

Yes, and the policy of unleashing noxious vermin to destroy the host population that you support is an instance of the Jews buying the government. Shame on you for enabling it.

Yes, I know I should have filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in the Brown v the Board case. I'm sure I could have swayed the necessary five votes and prevented school desegregation. I like to use the excuse that I was only three years old, but still the shame is there.

Given that I lived only about eight miles from Capitol Hill surely I could have lobbied Congress and prevented passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act, but I was all wrapped up with middle school and high school and the onset of puberty. Typical boomer self-absorbed narcissism.

And when busing began I could kick myself for not setting my selfish and unprincipled young boomer arse in front of those suckers so that they could not roll without committing murder. The model was there from Vietnamese Buddhist monks setting themselves on fire for social justice purposes.

Shame heaped upon shame.

Where are you now, in 2020, and where will you be in 2030?

Tomorrow I am flying to Spain, hopefully just beating the arrival of coronavirus and quarantines everywhere. Then I will hike in the mountains all spring before flying or taking the bus to see my escort girl in Ukraine this summer.

In 2030, when I will be 70, I plan to be living the same useless eater parasite life of hedonism as now, though possibly full time in Europe to reduce air travel, and treating my escort girl (who will be 40 then) more like a wife, though of course I won't sign any marriage contract. I am convinced more than ever that a former escort is the right type wife for me. (If she marries some other guy between now and then, I'll get a replacement escort. They are always looking for long term sponsors when they get tired of the escort business.)
