Exactly. Some good, some bad. You will NEVER get nothing but good mutual funds. Also, mutual funds are not backed by anything. Fixed deposits at 4% in your home bank are usually backed by the Govt, in case sth happens. I recommend that people stick to their hassle free guaranteed 4% returns in their home bank and not get too greedy. The stock market / mutual funds is GAMBLING, not investing. No fund manager will continually pick funds that garner 10% year after year. It's a LIE and will cause you a bunch of headaches.

Real men have dogs. Cats are for women.

Most international retirement visa programs are scams as they require monumental investments. Apart from countries that no one wants to live in where the govts are really desperate, like those crappy landlocked South American countries. No beaches!! Also, if you are permanent and you engage in criminal activity, maybe they can't kick you out. I suspect that's the main reason they don't like handing out permanent residency like jujubes. It seems they will gladly renew your extensions as long as you are a good citizen. But it's easier to kick out someone on extensions. That's just a theory. I could be completely wrong.

Should be fun to listen to how all the expats pronounce that at Malcolm's Xmas party after a few drinks.

What's a "Pineal Eye" ?

Here, check these books out. Revised editions.

Yeah, you bought a house and land but you're "not a walking ATM". Call it whatever you want. There's a lot of money involved in (most) relationships. It's the way it is.

Bryan Johnson is pale as a ghost. He appears to vehemently avoid sun exposure. Most people who live longest live in the "blue zones" ,where there is abundant sunshine and people spend a lot of time outdoors. Costa Rica, Sardinia, Okanawa -- all sunny places. Supplements can help. But very costly and most people cannot afford that many. Maybe millionaires will live longer because the rest of us will not be able to afford the fancy supplements / drugs / therapies for life extension. Remains to be seen if new technologies will be affordable. David Sinclair is another longevity guy. But he isn't muscular and doesn't appear to go to the gym ever. Probably better to train if you want to stay healthy. There is a competition going on. The prize is 101 Million USD to the team that can figure out how to add 20 years of lifespan to human beings. I think the deadline is 2030. So some people predict there will be a major breakthrough in longevity by then. https://www.diamandis.com/blog/101m-challenge-to-add-20-healthy-years

Working 8 hours a day and commuting 2 hours is too much. No time to take care of your health, or do other things. We are being worked to death and then told to retire. No need to fully retire. I prefer to work part time until I die, but AI will take over more and more.

Why should be publish his blood work for the general public? So his haters can foam at the mouth wishing his sudden demise?

In Australia?

Well, one theory I came across is that in 20 years, it will be "normal" for people to live until 120. So that sounds plausible.

To what? Work until you're 900 years old?
