Comments: I hear fall/Winter this year will not be covid friendly.
Comments: I think other than Average, Median is also a very important number.
Comments: yeah, the millennials specially... they want to retire early. Again, it goes back to the way Americans think. They do retirement planning religiously. As soon as they start their career. My daughter sent me this article, asked if I can chip in and help her doing this.... How a 28-year-old managed to retire early and earn $16,000 a month in passive income (cnbc.com)
Comments: Average retirement age was 61 in 2022
Comments: Is it true that Americans are retiring early (before 65)? What is the average age for retirement in America these days?
Comments: Yes Farzad, one of the main issues the economists are worried about is a lot of people leaving the workforce right now. It is putting a burden on stock market and revenues that government is making. They did not anticipate that people are now retiring in their 50s and low 60s as much. I know my own parents retired as soon as they start collecting social security here without a lot of back up cash. Their house was paid for, their taxes were low. My wife's father did the same thing at 64

ملیپوش سابق وزنهبرداری ایران در خصوص حجاب اجباری تحمیل شده از سوی مسئولان به ورزشکاران زن گفت: این که هرروز میخواهند تو را بازیچه بگیرند و یک سری بایدها و نبایدها را به ما تحمیل میکردند، خیلی دردناک بود. به طور مثال قبل از اعزام به مسابقات برای ما جلسه میگذاشتند و میگفتند شما حق پوشیدن شال ندارید. هیچ ورزشکاری حق ندارد بدون مقنعه از اتاق خارج شود. حتما باید مانتو بپوشید. مانتوی ورزشی بپوشید. او گفت: یک جلسه قبل از مسابقه بود که این چیزها را میگفتند. در مسابقه، میخواستم بروم در مسابقات جهانی وزنه بزنم، در سالن گرم، دو دقیقه قبل از مسابقه، نایبرییس فدراسیون به من میگفت مقنعهات را بکش جلوتر و این را ۱۰ بار تکرار کرد. آنجا به جای اینکه من به این فکر کنم که الان که هالتر را میگیرم چطور تکنیکم را اجرا کنم، مدام به این فکر میکردم که الان اگر مقنعه برود عقب باید چهکار کنم. وقتی یکی صد بار این را در گوشم فرو میکرد، فکر میکردم عملکردم هیچ اهمیتی ندارد و چه یک کیلو وزنه بزنم و چه صد کیلو برای آنها هیچ فرقی نداشت و فقط مهم بود که مقنعه روی سرم حفظ شود. این واقعا برای من غمانگیز است.» جهانفکریان در بخشی از حرفهای خود در این گفتگو به تشریح تفاوتهای سبک زندگی یک ورزشکار حرفهای در ایران با اروپا پرداخت و گفت: «بعضی وقتها که با بچههای اینجا[فرانکفورت] تمرین میکنم، خیلی ناراحت میشوم. میگویم اینها در چه شرایطی تمرین میکنند که ما همیشه از آن محروم بودیم. واقعا ما چه چیزی کمتر از بقیه داریم. چه بدیای کردیم که باید این شرایط را تحمل کنیم؟» او گفت: «همه دخترانی که در وزنهبرداری ایران بودند، از جمله خود من، فقط و ققط به خاطر عشق به وزنهبرداری ماندیم و تلاش کردیم. خود من در آن سالها این همه وزنه زدم فقط به عشق وزنهبرداری بود، نه چیز دیگر. واقعا ناراحت میشوم وقتی این تفاوتها را میبینم.»
Comments: This kid from Sepahan (HosseinNejad) is impressing the heck out of me. Plays for U-23. I think He can play in the senior team. Watched almost all of his games in Sepahan. Very talented kid.
Comments: Shahin, I was itching to retire just like you before reaching 60. I shared it with my boss and again his thing was just slow down, do some mentorship, and then pass the batton.
I am noticeing that many americans are retiring early. I see a lot of retirements happening for many in their 50's. Mainly because for the quality of life is more important. to be able to physically enjoy the time off. That is because Retirement is actually emphasized in this country at the very young stage of your career. I remember when i was 25, This guy called me about retirement planning. I was like wait a minute I just started my crareer and I have to worry about my retirement? So retirment planning starts at an early stage in this country. Americans do a good job of it. They also do not have the fake gondeh goozi ego many iranians for example in california have (like having a BMW or MBZ) is a must, regardless of whether they can afford it or not. My kids already established IRA accounts and...
Comments: kAmkAr, like anything else in life, nothing is perfect. You chose the best package that suits you the best. Maybe in terms of presidential elections, you go with which "fool" benefits you the most. This one's for you. Jonny Cash the GOAT.
Comments: Doostan, Since you all are explaining your reasons for complaining, criticizing, explaining, or whatever other words , I'd like to tell you my reasons when I complain so much about the American Selections. In early days of 1979 when I arrived here I was infatuated with the "Free press" and it was the time when the presidential Selections were heating up. Soon Reagan, the retard, and Carter became the two parties (sar o tahe same Piaz) nominees. They were on TV all the time and as a 19 year old kid I was glued to TV trying to understand what they were talking about. My bad Englisi. Some months later on November the 4th we all remember what happened. The hostages were finally released on the exact day and the minutes the old retard actor got selected. Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what happened. It's been only lately that you start hearing about Regan making a deal with the Mullas not to release them till he has won and he's in the office. We all know that the Mullas hated Carter. That event totally turned me off from this presidential Selection and those were the times that I didn't even know about the Electoral College votes, gerrymandering, or didn't know how big money selects the presidents. After I became a citizen, My mindset didn't change. Of course I do understand that politics in the US is a blood sport and the end justifies the means. Having said all that, I still want my kids to stay here and I'm sure they can do better here than anywhere else on the earth. I do wish my country of birth had the opportunities and the tolerance to accept them because they love Iran but right now it doesn't look that way.
Comments: Shahin, we all have flaws, we have weaknesses and strengths in all areas. I actually feel fulfilled by helping people. And I chose to do it. I help certain poor families (mostly baluch and afghani) in iran through my Kerman connection. I randomly send money to a couple of relatives whom I know are struggling. And in my career after 35 years of service here, I have mentorship duties which takes about one hour a day of my work time. Helping the younger professionals to expand their horizon and see what it takes for which progression path they want to take. About my kids, I emphasized on their education, but never forced them to be a doctor or engineer or a lawyer... Never forced them to speak farsi, yet read or write farsi!! My recommendation to them was do what you llike to do and do what you have passion for. Because if you do what you enjoy, then you never have to work. I also have mentorship activities with nieces and nephews and the extended ones. Basically teaching them living in the gray zone. Make sure to deal with facts and not rumors and not to make false assumptions. See the issues and challenges they encounter with "as is". Don't make it bigger than they are and dont make them lighter than they are. Just see what it is and tackle it. It is easier to solve a complex problem once you simplify it. Teaching them "Let it be". I gave them free audio access to "Excuses begone", and shared with them how to overcome the barrier of "fear" and "excuses" in life. That how fear and excuses can be your enemy. That does not mean I am teaching them how to be reckless. With all the flaws I have and my shortcomings, I feel good about myself. Do not carry a big ego, but I am vocal where I need to be. I believe in "happiness" and I belive that unit and measure of success is nothing but "happiness". I also believe that that Happiness is not a desination, a target, or a finishline, Happiness is the path/road in our everyday life. I Like to be rewarded and like to leave a legacy. Career wise as we talked about the other day (tokhmi tokhmi discussion), i was never that ambitious to become a VP or anything like that, as work/life balance and spending time with family was extremely important for me. Like to be rewarded and like to leave a legacy. The biggest compliment I got in my career as a program director was by an Israeli in an award ceremony when I succesfully finished a very challanging project / program. He said, "if Islamic Republic had a program director like him, they would have had the bomb by now." Life is good. Life is precious. You only live once (at least on this planet), and I am simply so thankful and grateful for it. When one can open his eyes in the morning and stand vertical, there is so much to be thankful for. And this is my daily prayor, this is how I dicatate my day: Life is a joy and filled with love I am loving, lovable, and Loved I am healthy and filled with Energy I prosper wherever I turn I am willing to change and to grow Today is a great wonderful and a loving day And all I well in my world and in my life And lastly...... "At the end everything will be alright, if it is not alright now that means it is not the end yet" Took that from one of the greatest movies I have ever seen: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Anyways... wanted to share something ...
Comments: Zinsky: As you can tell I do read the other site too and it matters to me that you stay consistent otherwise I will not be able to accept what you say here at face value

Comments: Zinsky: I look at the upcoming election as entertainment & fun. Can you imagine how fun Trump/Biden debate would be ![]() Sure there is a lot at stake but nothing I can do about it so I look for the entertainment aspect of it without getting upset and disillusioned. |
