Same. I quit my salaried gig and cashed out retirement into a Roth IRA chock full of about 25% BRK/B, 25% AAPL, and the other half more boring stuff. The boring stuff has really been dragging down the otherwise stellar performance of m

I get the impression that cardio affects some people differently. I'm taking some time off from my 30+ miles a week running habit to let my foot heal up. I'm now at about 10 miles + cycling and nordic skiing when I can but overall

Yep, same here. Last 2 week trip to Paris / Chamonix resulted in my losing a few pounds just because we're covering 12 - 14 miles on foot daily. It probably helps that I don't really care for much French food and just ate keb
