Adam Gilchrist has announced his decision yo retire from all forms of cricket after the Australian summer.Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist will retire from international cricket at the conclusion of the upcoming triangular one-day series against India and Sri Lanka."It is with great pride and happiness that I make the decision to retire from Test and one-day cricket," he said in a statement at the conclusion of the third day of the fourth Test against India in Adelaide.Gilchrist, 36, became the record holder for most Test dismissals by a wicketkeeper when he claimed his 414th victim during Friday's play in the fourth Test against India. But his greatest achievements came with bat in hand - an average of 47.89 from 136 Test innings tells part of the story. Gilchrist also changed the expectations of number seven batsmen in Test matches with his pace of scoring and ability to contribute centuries, 17 of them in Tests. He also enjoyed much success at the top of the order in one-
I had a brief but fascinating discussion this weekend with someone who is planning on retiring in the next year. The point was the person was actually considering pushing off his retirement by an extra year due to the market down turn last week. I don’t know his exact exposure to the market, but I [...]
Gustavo 'Guga' Kuerten's best days are surely behind him and thats one of the reasons he plans to retire.Three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten has announced he plans to retire from professional tennis this year. The 31-year-old former world number one has struggled to recapture his best form after undergoing hip operations in 2002 and 2004. "I tried to stay at the top level but I feel I can no longer compete against the players on the tour," he said. "Everybody can dream, but my reality is very different: if I was 100% physically fit I would play for two or three more years." 'Guga' intends to play several competitions this season and then work as a trainer. "I want to help young Brazilian players," he said. "The most important thing is to try to get two or three Brazilians in the top 100 to consolidate the country in the elite of world tennis," he said. Kuerten is hoping to receive a wildcard from the French Tennis Federation to allow him to play at Roland Garr

Ok after Colleen’s comment on yesterday’s post I can’t help but do a post on what happens to you when you do nothing to plan your retirement. Some people refer to this as the default retirement, I refer to it as the other way to retire.
In Canada there is the general belief that we [...]
You've seen the posts on newsletters and blogs:"My husband owns his own business and works almost all the time. I miss the family togetherness we once had. The few hours he spends with us are tense. He is too tired to do anything fun. He just sits in his recliner and watches TV. I've considered divorce. What should I do?" Many women suffer in silence from the 'silent' and socially acceptable form of emotional abuse. It is growing worse as many people start Internet based businesses after retirement. Our generation were told to 'tolerate it' because when he retired then he would lavish us with appreciation for our support and understanding. But, it isn't happening. So, what should we do? How about start taking control of our own lives? Instead of looking at our husband for support and emotional fulfillment, start researching some ecommerce software and build our own web business. What are we really missing? The sense that we are needed? The need to be important? We can have that ba

By Janice Revell, Money Magazine senior writer If you're saving for a retirement decades away, Thursday's big drop in the stock market shouldn't worry you too much.But something did happen this week that you can't afford to ignore: the Federal Reserve's rate cut.The Fed's actions could very well be ushering in a new era of inflation - and that is horrible news for your retirement portfolio.When you save for retirement, you're saving for a lifetime supply of food, shelter and golf fees. Over time, the prices for these things only go one way: up.The risk is that the value of the investments you're now stockpiling to pay for them may not increase at the same pace - leaving you with only enough money to pay for nine holes' worth of green fees.With its rate cut this week, the Fed has made it clear that staving off recession is more important than reining in inflation.But while the typical recession has lasted 18 months on average (not including the Great Depression), inflation can dog your
McDuffie County was named one of the top 10 places in the state to retire in the Fall/Winter 2007 issue of the Retire in Georgia magazine."It's a big deal," said Elizabeth Vance, the McDuffie County tourism director, who turned in a nomination. "I think it's a great thing anytime you're named the best of anything. ... It only validates that McDuffie is a great place to live."According to a press release sent out by the magazine, the editorial staff chooses 10 sites annually using criteria such as climate, travel and tourism assets, cost of living, healthcare infrastructure, housing, population, dynamics, community commitment, local park systems and lifelong learning opportunities.Not ranked in any order, the top 10 places listed in the article are Albany-Dougherty; the City of Atlanta; Big Canoe in Pickens and Dawson Counties; Gainesville-Hall County; Douglas-Coffee County; Georgia's Lake Country in Morgan, Greene, Putnam and Baldwin Counties; Lowndes, Brooks and Lanier Counties; McDuf
From CNN:"WASHINGTON (CNN) – Rep. Ralph Regula of Ohio, the second longest-serving Republican in the House, will announce Friday that he will retire rather than seek re-election to a 19th term next year, two GOP congressional sources told CNN Thursday... The departure of Regula, first elected in 1972, brings the number of GOP House members retiring next year to at least 10, adding additional difficulty to the party's chances of taking back the House in 2008. In addition to those 10 retirements, another Republican member, Rep. Heather Wilson of New Mexico, is running for the Senate, and Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia is also expected to leave to seek a Senate seat."Additionally five Republican senators have announced they will retire so far. Given the current mood of the American people I seriously doubt the GOP will be winning all of those seats back. They'll be doing good just to keep the seats they have. What the GOP is truly fearing is that the Dems pick up enough seats to have a vet

Perhaps out just frustration or madness I played a little game with myself today. Could I pull the plug and retire today?
The short answer is not really. You see even if I liquidated my assets and moved to a small town in Saskatchewan where I could buy a house for under $50,000 I [...]

I had the TV on in the background, but really wasn't paying all that much attention to WDIV's "Sports Final Edition," as SFE give Rob Parker way too much airtime. I don't need any Parker in my life at 11:45 pm.But then his rumor mongering bit, "Clubhouse Confidential" came on.Despite doing my best to ignore Wobb, I thought heard him mention "Lloyd Carr," "Retirement" and "This season." That immediately got my attention, so I rewound the soundbite on the DVR. These were his exact words..."My moles are telling me that this is it! This will be Lloyd Carr's last year if everything goes right." And you know we've heard some grumblings in the past, maybe he might hang it up, this and that, but my moles in Ann Arbor say this could be the year."That's his big news? I got all wound up for that?I just love how he gives himself a pair of outs in regard to Lloyd leaving, using terms like "If everything goes right," and "This could be the year.""Maybe he might?" Much as 2 negatives make a po
If your one of those people getting very close to your retirement date, you are very lucky and perhaps a bit over whelmed by it all. After all, how does one actually retire? Well before you hand in your notice to your boss. I suggest a few things you need to get in line.Make use of any health benefits you have currently, because you won't have them in retirement. So see your dentist and get everything that needs to be done. Then your optometrist and also make sure you get a full physical with your family doctor before leaving work. Also talk to your doctor about getting a longer perception if you take something regularly. You basically want to max out every benefit you can before leaving.Apply for any lines of credit, credit cards or any other type of credit you might need for the next twenty years as your income is going to drop and that doesn't look good when applying for new credit.If your old enough to get Canada Pension Plan and/or Old Age Security you want to apply about six mo
