Wall Street, Exercise and Dementia

Tip of the Day: Exercise is not just for Meatheads any more!  Recent research has shown that physical exercise of 150 minutes or more a week has a GREATER protective effect against the onset of dementia than doing Sudoko, Brain Exercises, Crosswords Puzzles etc. 

The point to take home here is that working out is no longer only an effective option just for people who want a six pack.  Staying fit is as important to enjoying ones retirement as your stock portfolio is.  

Due yourself a favor and every time you go Gordon Gekko style and put on your suspenders to check the NYSE Ticker ask yourself “Did I get my 150 in this week?”.  Remember, having money and lots of free time is great only if you are actually able to enjoy it.  






Is greed good?   How the hell should I know.  After seeing a couple close friends watch their parents slip into the horror of dementia I can tell you that it is one thing I would want to put off for a very long time.  For my sake and for theirs
