What's Your Number?

That only true if subway is a tight wad.
An 8 ball will last me a month.
A hooker once a week would be fine.
But I like the pretty ones and they are $$$$$
Just keep em coming.
Sure and steady wins the race
So won't you please reach into your wallet if you care to help a kindly older gentleman who could use a helping hand[job]?
His balls will thank you.
We're at roughly 8 billion humans on the planet and what do you think the percentage is of people who have the luxury of having a "retirement number?" Many of us know people who worked for years and years, only to die a year after retirement. There's also the ones who are truly bored and end up visiting the office frequently to catch up on the local gossip or whatever. I refer back to the saying that if you truly find your passion, you'll never fully retire.
side note: had a 49 year-old have a massive heart attack and die at my local this morning. I wasn't there yet, but my friend pulled him out to administer CPR. It was too late and he had the wife going off the deep end - as she had every right to.
Long story short, I never plan to retire... like Bobby Dylan sang... those not busy being born, are busy dyin'

Before you decide on which charities to support, divest yourself of the idea that a charity that spends on administration and fundraising (overhead) is necessarily a bad thing.
The way we think about charity is dead wrong
Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding...

Come on, you see how pumped subway is for this?
don’t ruin it for him
Or for us,
Or for the children
To be clear, when I said for “the children”’ I meant my children
I have no beef with this, some of the greatest and most truly effective NGOs do in fact need to spend a lot to accomplish a lot. But like, I’d sooner leave some cash to the Salvation Army , based solely what I witnessed after sandy, as compared to the FAR richer Red Cross that was nowhere to be seen in those first few most desperate days. And all that weird crap that went down in haiti with the Red Cross…Before you decide on which charities to support, divest yourself of the idea that a charity that spends on administration and fundraising (overhead) is necessarily a bad thing.

not that Salvation Army is perfect either, but on the whole they operate by a pretty solid ethos I think, and im an atheist
off the top of my head…These are currently my favorite places to “tithe” if you will,: Doctors Without Borders, a Ghanian orphanage, and the Southampton hospital breast cancer center
I also do a ton of $50 or $100 donations when a facebook friend is doing a birthday fundraiser for A good cause. probably thousands of dollars worth of those a year. I mean, rarely does a day go by without at least one popping up in my feed
But of course! Maybe your middle daughter. Your son may actually make real money one day. Maybe I’ll leave your eldest daughters children in my trust lol.
Spend it all while you still can Si.... Live the life even Autoprax couldn't dream of... 
On your will, leave it all to wifey to dole out as she sees fit.
Fook it man, get busy living and stop thinking so much about the dying part and what comes after, you won't be here to enjoy that part.

Make sure she does what you do at the same time and in the same way.....what mean is, if you're doing this for yourself, you should get it done for her as well. Wherever the $$$ go for either party is beside the point I am trying to make.

Dude, i spend plenty on the here and now, but it’s more than likely I will in fact have a few million dollars left assuming I don’t kick before im a proper old man, ready to take his leave. It’s not always easy to find that balance. Shoots i got a little trigger happy on my latest stock purchase that I accidentally left my day to day checking account balance a little lower than I like, so I had to sell some crypto that I would otherwise have kept making money onSpend it all while you still can Si....

by doing it?
If you desire surfing and getting barrelled at Pipe/Chopes/Gnaraloo, you go do it.
That sounds dickish, I don't mean it to be.

But even when I do it I'm still not satisfied.
In fact the older I get the more I crave.
Viparinama-dukkha(?)...It seems Buddhism really does have all the answers.
Now you are venturing into the Humblebrag Zone. Get your estate sh!t set up so it all goes exactly where you want if you get hit by a bus tomorrow. Don't let the Probate Code of the State of New York determine your money's fate. It is well worth the mid-low 4 figures to hire a competent probate attorney who could easily get this locked up for you, as a person with no divorces and no kids.
I could easy.
But I'd tire of the travel and surfing.
That is until I got back to the grind and the bug bit again.
This. Just spent $6K in HI on probate attorney and luckily the estate was not complicated enough to need too much follow up/advice/questions.
