Wow. Look at that picture. And its very dramatic, and important story that it tells is a myth that only the females hunt so this is other than the drama of the scene, it also tells an educational piece right there. We have a he had a beautiful extremely large white rhino that is absolutely beautiful, and a crocodile, 14foot crocodile, which is really adding drama to the room. And theres also another very dramatic piece is a leopard that has a kill and that has brought it up into a tree, which they are prone to do. Wow. And we have that scene. Do you now how many times mr. Prim went to africa . I really dont but all of his the best taxidermists in the country, which made them so spectacular. Make the crock adile alive. That would make it dramatic.

Nick, lets start with you. Many people are intimidate by the idea of retirement and dont know where to start. You say knowledge is when someone is planning on retiring and saving, theres so many unknowns. For instance, one might think i dont know the stock market is going to do or Social Security will look like down the road. I dont know how much to save. Theres so much unknown. If you have a good idea of how much you need to save and have a good idea of smart places to put your money, basically you have a plan and factors go aosayy. So, by propering, you can be less intimidate by how much you need to save. The other day, yesterday, i was meeting with someone in her had saved a little bit for retirement but wasnt sure if she was on track or where she needed to start to finish the job. Her some basic places where she could save and some places she could smartly invest so she can be less intimidated. And we walked through the plan and it was no longer a problem for her. You have to steer it. I dont know if a lot of women realize this, they outlive menoi so that you have enough money in retirement. Absolutely. Thats why its especially important forelationship to know what is going on in the finances. If you give it all to the man and he is doing it off, if he passes away early the burden is quite large for the spouse. So its important to both be on the same page when planning for retirement. Lets play a game, financial fact or fiction. The first question is simple mix of stocks andbands are sufficient to provide income that i cannot outlive. Fact or fiction. Faction. Depending on your situation. If you were just take ought the income as discretionary income, income you were using as your fun money beyond your typical expenses, then a simple mix of stocks and bond if youre taking another one or two percent may get you where you need to be. But if youre relying on that income as your basic expenses, if you remember, 2001 to 2010, people call that the lost decade because in the dow jones for that tenyear period of time the average return was slightly negative. So i youre taking out five or six percent towards your income, then during that tenyear period of time you may have lost half of the value of your portfolio. Thats whoa so many people say, at that point if i lost half of my portfolio, do i need to look at my spending habits, need to look at finally making an we have people call from the show and say, lets up. Here iomes to finances. Buy and hold always wins. Theres a lot of debate on this question. Im going to say fiction. Buy and hold does not always win. Over younger in your 30s and 40s and saving you have time on your side. You can take more risk and ride the rollercoaster in risky returns. When you get older and closer to retirement your priorities shift airplane from maximizing growth to preserving. So, the priorities change, so some seismic shifts in the stactee, especially if youre within ten years of retirement. Its just time to get when youre younger you might want to save more, save aggressively. When your older, you dont need to save as much if you have been doing this all along. Exactly. Its not about maximizing breath at that point. You growth at that point. You have too much to lose. And eric was mentioning a second ago, 2008, during the lost decade, that period, if someone was wanting to retire in 20, then they had a lot of risky investments, chances are they conservative, the stock market retire. Fact or fiction no bigbe fact or fiction. Conservative. You may need to take a big risk if youre trying to get that loss you had incurred back in that same year. But for a lot of our clients they say, you know what . I want to start lets go from there. If youre not taking big risks and big losses then percent or six percent return is a big return for them because theyre not having to weather the storm. Thats good. To preserve your time. But you have a powerful tool to retirement, very simple report but if youre listening today and you are in that time period where you are not sure exactly where you stand, where you need years prepare for retirement, this report is for you. Its simple and basic thats what retirement should be, and so this report does exactly that. So, 7029008177, then we can send that report out to you.

You know what, the big game day quoteunquote. I think of something just kind of yummy and dippy and i love tacos, so i thought why not make a hot cheesy taco dip. This is something Everybody Knows and its not going to take a lot of time. So simple. Just jump in . Yes. I brown the meat, i have some onions and like to put green chilis in. These are mild. She looks at me. The resident so when youre making this, let the chilis stirfry and sautee it. I wanted to make the baked potatoes youre switching it up. I am. So, let the chilis cook. Get your favorite packaging of taco seasoning, its really easy, and if you know how to make your own, make your own. This is not rocket science. You add a little water in there, and sometimes when youre cooking this off, sometimes theyre so much water, i would let it soak in and cook off so all the flavor goes into the meat. So its really juicy. Exactly. Once this is all combined im ying to make this easy because you probably have wings and so i love rotel i a tomato and chili mixture. I have the mild chilis but i did get the hot move it up a notch. I think youll survive. I can smell the notch. Hell still eat it. So you see all the beautiful colors, which i love. You can also check for seasoning. Im an onion girl. I love the grind onion. Are the scallions. The same thing. Some people call it one thing or the other and you cant find both in the same supermarket, so i came to the conclusion its the same. Its the same. Its play on words. So, see how beautiful that looks already . Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper i would just gate burrito wrap and wrap and it eat other. Yes. You can do a bunch of different things. I you can have tacos on the size, people can take the meat. I already have some cream cheese ready, too cheap cheese. Im making this really cheesy. Wow. So, going to get it in there mix it up. It will melt down. So im just this is what ive got right here. How long does it take, 20 minutes. About 20 minutes. Its really quick. Most is getting everything cut up. I know sometimes my sister says im a chef so i move faster. So probably 10 or 15 minutes. I was also thinking, if you love jalapeos you can take this after it cools down, open up the top and stuff it inside. Yummy. Wow. Some other ideas to use this we have 45 seconds left. We have to try this. You can serve it just like this, or you added a bunch of toppings. I add, like here, add whatever you want. You eat this warm or cold or does hot. The cream cheese you want it to be melted and bubbly. You can put more cheese on top, put it in the broiler, let it get warm, add your toppings. That is delicious. Were having a pot luck on friday, so ill be making this. Im going to steal this for the pot luck. Thank you. Thank you. So delicious. Havehave a great sunday. Ill be enjoying food.

One of the most Extraordinary Events ive been toening along the lives memorial. They held it in celines venue, and had a large crowd, and it was just fantastic. 12 speakers. Celine closed the show, as usual, she closes you could have heard a pin drop when she was up there. I was one of the speakers, were you blown away that you were asked . Did you know it was coming. I had no idea it was coming but i used to talk to him a lot, and he knew i was a Sports Writer in my other life so the conversation always turned back to sports, and what he and his son, rene charles, had done. Everything from going to the masters and rene charles shoot neglect 70s at 13, and went to fenway, and rene charles tract tracked down a foul ball, and some kid start evidence hollering can we have the ball . He gives them the ball. How cool is that. Thats amazing. I know theres a shot for us to see this. Yes. Highly recommend it. Its one of the most entertaining things. A long time. It would be rene celebration of life. Com. Really worth the time. Crazy to see her talk, too. At first people were thinking she didnt want to speak. And then she did take the stage. When i got over there i went over there at 12 30 for my mic check, and she was ahead of me, and i listened to much of her speech, and i knew it would be ff man, doting father. They had some hilarious stories about him. Were in the middle of parkinggate in vegas. Theres a gate, you cant go in until you pay to park. You talked to a strip Property Owners about this. Island, and he i asked him about that, ande h said tt he fees, if one gets away with, they all get away with it. Sure. He talked about tt. Boed t stadium that he hes got his own business in mind here but he wasnt sure the stadium will work without an nfl team. It would certainly help. Definitely. And he is an advocate of the lbcba, what theyre doing at riviera. He loves what is going to happen at the at the north end of the strip. No question. How about liberace, 29 years ago. Palm springs. On one of his last shows, with oprah, she was parading around in one of his finest furs and he told this story that was so hilarious that he was in new york city, and donald trump called him up and said i want you to come up and i want to talk to you about something. So i think trump wanted to talk him into maybe appearing at one of his casinos, and he went up trump took him upstairs in the trump towers to a fur er. They got up there. He said, liberace you have to buy this one. He said this one is you have to have this one. And i think he suggested he was going to get it. And so suddenly theyre walking out and liberace says i thought we were getting a coat, and trump says, i can get one and, true, he can. Im imagine what he can do for america. Were always keeping tabs on you. I know conversations with norm coming soon. That going to be fun. Yes, april 3rd, 90th 90th birthday which are we are this close to a sellout. No kidding.
