QOTD: I’m never going to retire. Mathematicians rarely do.

QOTD: Geographers never retire, they just go somewhere different.

Nice show guys, great guest.
QOTD: gardening and worm farming.
Thanks for the show!

The Thundercruise was amazing! Sam and I had a blast – Seriously don’t miss it next year. Check out the photos group:

QOTD – Retirement is not in my DNA, my Dad is 80 and still killing it. The Hustle keeps him young!

Thx GV –

WOW that was great to see Tim on WLTV. Now to take it to the next level Tim, can you broker a deal to get Dan Kennedy on the show with Gary?

Gary, thanks for the Sanchez explanation. It did appear (on camera) like you were dissin’ him.

I have been all over Malbec since last year because of the price and the quality, as you noted.

QOTD: I’ve not thought about life as working and retirement. I guess I’ve always considered that I’m picking a career that I will love to do for the rest of my life. It’s not simply a means to retirement but rather a way to live.

QOTD: take more vacations!

Good show.

Very interesting QOTD – best in a long time. I have not given retirement much thought as it would be a long time away. So talking about it is rather abstract. I guees if I was told economics had been thrown upside down and retirement was not possible, then I would stop saving for it #1. I would take more time to enjoy life. I would cultivate a more balanced lifestyle. I might pace myself a little more (being a workaholic). And would think a whole lot more about the topic.

Thanks for the info on Malbecs. I learned a lot! I also am not a fan of “chalky” flavoring in my wine. Side note… Tim Farris is a “drink of water” to this woman’s eyes. Now,I might go buy the book, Ha!

Hey Tim, you make a better advocate for all things Argentina than I as an Argentine do!

That wasn’t a bee, it was a wasp. Bees=good. Wasps=bad.

Great show, i like the C and the M too!bye ,Leo

Great ep G …. We always forget about Malbec . What a great food wine especially grilled meats .
QOTD– Just take what life gives you . Keep a positive attitude and do what you want to do . Love life.

We love the Malbec, always go for it when out. Better price even at restaurants with good quality.

1st episode for me after the cruise. Still pumped…go Slingshot. She needs to post here. I am in the process of retiring but only in a sense as I am changing the type of business I am doing not stopping altogether. Don’t know how I would stop working altogether and have the money to live on with a 50% cut in my retirement money anyhow. Had a lot of Malbecs, just going through my notes now from all of the tastings. I counted 14 and most of them were good and good buys.

QOTD – Here’s how I think of things: I want to ‘work’ doing something that is challenging, exciting, interesting. I love music, tennis, wine, movies, traveling… but I also need food, a house, and want a family. So I think of a job as something that not only is a source of income, but also a source of personal fulfillment. Time away from the tennis and family better be worth it to me.

Still, I don’t want to be defined by my career. Again I want to have a family and spend meaningful time with my kids/wife. I also want to travel, go to concerts, enjoy new things, and ‘live’ life. 2 weeks vacation and a 60 hour work weeks will likely get in the way of that. This is going to be a challenge worth figuring out – but I am fairly certain of my priorities.

Longer term, I don’t think about retirement – I would rather take a month leave-of-absence from work next year than wait until I am 70 to do that. I’ll continue to work as long as I want to (or need to). But I am not going to put off everything else until I’m old.

QOTB: I have never really expected to be able to fully retire. What I do expect/hope to be able to do is slow down in 40 years or so and move from a hands-on kind of job and move to more of an advisory role. Hopefully by then I’ll be wise enough to pull it off (or have enough grey hairs to fool people into thinking that I’m wise enough =D)

What a great episode!! I just bought a Malbec over the weekend and it was amazing!

QOTD: I think I would do what I love without thinking I had to “make money” at it as much. I am sorta there now (at 40) but my DH is not with me there. It kills him to think I might choose to do something that makes little to no money…

BTW – 69 is a great number and I love telling people it is the year I was born!!

GV, fine show and excellent rapport with Tim…great to see that as successful as he is, there is deep appreciation for the $10 bottle of Thunder.
We enjoy Argentinian Malbecs on a regular basis due the quality/price ratio, since there is lots of good stuff in the $9-$15 range. Have tasted a couple of French Malbec only bottles, but have just not been impressed…price wa sup there and the oak monster attacked. I can see how the French would want to horn in on the Malbec action, but the fruit is beaten up and not as apparent.

BTW, what is the deal with these folks that rush to be the first poster, have nothing to say, and then check out the show later on? Maybe they will have a better chance to be in the top 10 once they retire.

Glad you don’t dwell on the legs. There’s a myth that lots of legs running down the inside of the glass is an indicator of a good wine. This has nothing to do with quality, it’s simply the alcohol separating from the wine.

QOTD: I would be exhausted.. Having to work until I was 85? Please don’t let that happen. I want to move to Arizona or CapeCod and play golf. You can play lots and lots of golf Gary!

I need to try more malbecs.
QOTD: Oops, I already retired.

Zuccardi – awesome, but like 30 bones…
Aguaribay malbec is a Rothschild project – 12 bones and delicious.
