AK said... "I have left behind the prescriptive world of responsibility and routine which demanded that I made regular and meaningful contributions to the establishment and clients (in ever more difficult conditions)." (See related post at the end of this blog.) Reader says... I see things quite differently. I never felt the world demanded anything from me. It’s more like what I wanted from the world. And now that I have most of what I want , I do feel a moral need to give back to this world. Ranging from being a good son (which you agree) to a good father/husband/friend but also to help other less lucky humans whom I do not know. As for structure, disciplined people usually remain rather disciplined even in retirement. I find myself disciplined in exercise and the way i run portfolio. I am sure you are extremely disciplined on your portfolio thinking and actions too......
