Though the daily life of bankers is a rollercoaster some days and a horribly boring one for others, eventually we will all retire (stop working a regular job) at some point in our life. How do you plan to allocate your saved capital once you retire? Also, how do you see yourself spending the rest of your days?

In my own bed with a belly full of wine and a girl's mouth around my cock.
Squirrels are savage
Have to side with the prime Autism Monaco Monkey and say I don't want to be married with any one girl and just date whoever comes along. Seems more fun that way.
Yeah, welcome to your 20s.
Not "retired." I want to leave corporate life around 35-40 to work on my own businesses. Why quit after that? Traveling, learning new languages and new skills, and doing whatever generally interests me as I run my own shit. People who work to stop working have it all wrong, and IMO are the very mice in the proverbial rat race. So long as you live, you need to earn your keep.
That's a good statement, I also want to travel and learn new languages!
Retiring is for coal miners. You spend your entire life building contacts, a network, executing and raising capital to do what? Early bird special?
Start you own consulting business, build a group, get on boards, etc. continue to earn and live on your own terms.
I guess what I meant by "retire" is when you stop regularly working, I definitely don't want to do nothing . I'd also like to live on my own terms, couldn't have put it a better way.
I plan on climbing the seven summits. Maybe dump somebody's ashes up there or take a piss off of everest.
This, the rest of you are crazy. I'll probably stay working in some capacity for a while but still....
Congrats on all the board seats, maybe you can have them listed on your tombstone
retire from what? life? probably doing some dumb shit. never gonna stop makin mulah dawg0 it's too much fun what am i gonna go do go jerk off and play rollercoaster tycoon
Realistically? By dying.
Meetings will be on yachts with people of my choice, instead of stuffy conference rooms with people I need.
Meetings are overrated.
I generally like to form a base relationship and then depart from very rich forms of communication, unless necessary or unless I'm friends with the person (or if closing a deal). It just tends to be more efficient. And also, when people see you operate this way, they respect your efficiency. If you let random meetings happen or partake in them, I feel they grow like a fungus in the schedule. Not needed to be there for optimal efficiency/productivity.
The meeting of the future is no meeting. Just do it.

I'll never retire.
Simply at some point I'll be running my own business, maybe I'll go hands off. Maybe I'll stay on till my 70s. But I will never stop working.
After I retire with 3 Billion; I will allocate 2 Billion to the building of a giant pyramid that I am building in the middle of the desert in Arizona for no reason at all. It will be a little bigger than the pyramids in Giza. With the modern architecture, engineering, and construction it should take about 5 years to build.
The other billion I will use to launch my dead body into space and donate the rest to blind children or something gallant like that.
When I retire I will be doing the same thing that day that I did today - following my passions. That's what makes life worth living. Maybe they will be the same? I don't know. In a broad and literal sense, probably still cycling and swimming and snowboarding and skateboarding. Yeah when I'm 60, 70, 80, you name it. I'll be on that fucking board.
Retire? What sort of communist drivel is this?

How do Traders retire? (Originally Posted: 12/24/2007)
How can a person go from doing intense work for 10-12 hours a day for 10-20 years and suddenly stop and retire? Seems like you'd die from boredom afterwards because of hectic life you're used to.
well most traders become big game hunters afterwards, which helps a great deal in terms of staving off boredom.
