Just wondering out loud.  I might have enough to retire but kids still in HS, live in US where you pay out of pocket for your healthcare.  Plus market sure feels frothy.  Also it'd be tough giving up job with smart people on cutting edge, nice benefits and facilities and pretty compensation.  Though some days...

 

Don't quit unless it's just too toxic for your health. How old are you?

“I did,” and he added grimly, “but I lost everything I wanted in the boom.”

I think toxicity has several levels.... It can kill you immediately .... or for most, it's s slow dose of arsenic poisoning each day.

Right on. I'd much rather have a barrel of arsenic dropped square on my head.

Reading this topic is almost killing me.

I didn't know what other thread to put this story, so I thought it might make sense to revive this thread.  

 

Sometimes eff you money just isn't enough!  

 

Did anyone ever have any doubt that this knucklehead would one day be in financial problems?

He has made a billion from boxing and apparently just blows it all the time.  Buying stuff never made me happy, but apparently it makes others happy to blow their money on cars and watches.  He should be a multi-billionaire by now.
