Wish I couldve retired at 36.

 

Trick is...........does he still need to work??? I know alot of people that "retire" from a job only to still NEED another one! In my current industry the companies just declare BK
even though they have tons of money only to terminate employee pension plans. I feel for the generation that has only had access to a 401K and does not understand how important that will be while they are in their 20's/30's and 40's!

 

Todd McClure sat on me when he was a senior and I was a sophomore... Well, he didn't sit on me, but he did knock me on my ass and not let me up. Some of my family had occasional "rumbles" with the McClures.

 

Been retired for 4 years now. I'm the busiest retired guy you know. Just got back from Tx. But I am enjoying things I want to do.

 

His last season he made a little over $900K. If invested right, he will do well, counting what hes made over the years.

 

3-5 years and I will join the tidal wave of airline pilots out the door................"they" already know the replacements are not there.

 

Did you go to Central, or did this happen at LSU?

 

Zachary... we have bench clearing fights in 2 of the three years that we played them.
