Retirement Research

Many people do not do the ‘right’ research in looking for a great retirement location. Having a great holiday/s in a location is not an ideal reason for moving to an area. Nor is thinking that ‘everything will be o.k.’ if we move to an area….nor is being seduced by warmer temperatures or glossy real estate advertisements!

No Plans To Retire: 'Cups King' Cummings Looks For Baker's Dozen

'Cups King' Cummings looks for baker's dozen Bart Cummings celebrates winning the Melbourne Cup Veteran trainer Bart Cummings says he has no plans to retire, after winning his 12th Melbourne Cup at Flemington yesterday. Cummings had not won the big race for nine years and many thought his run of winners had come to an end. But as Viewed held on to win by a nose from Bauer at Flemington, Cummings once again lived up to his nickname of Cups King, and he says he has no plans to stop after notching a dozen winners in the big race. "I suppose as long as I can get around then there's no reason to say au revoir until the time comes and it'll be a while yet," he said. The 80-year-old has also warned rivals that Viewed's best years may be ahead of him, and that he will be pushing for consecutive wins next year. Cummings also said jockey Blake Shinn fully deserved his win. Cummings says he has great respect for Shinn who has earned his place as a Melbourne Cup winning jockey. "I've always picked him early days as a dedicated rider, he's got good balance, he's very serious he gets suspended a few times because he always wants to be in the right place," he said. The legendary trainer says he never doubted he would add to his Melbourne Cup tally. Cummings had won 11 Melbourne Cups before yesterday's race, but all the attention had been focussed on international raiders, Septimus and favourite Mad Rush. While it was another of English-based trainer, Luca Cumani's horses, Bauer, that pushed Viewed all the way, Cummings says the result represents a win for the local industry. "I just couldn't believe that we could win this race with all the hype of the imported horses you see, so I was very glad to see an Aussie win," he said. The 80-year-old says while he feels sorry for Cumani who has now trained the second placed horse in consecutive years, he is just happy for himself and long-time business partner and owner, Dato Tan Chin Nam.

82-year-old Jerry Lewis On Retirement: 'Why?'

These days, the King of Comedy is graying at the temples and sometimes a little wobbly on his feet. But don't ask him about retirement. "A break? No, why? You got something better to do?" Jerry Lewis told a reporter Friday who asked if the 82-year-old entertainer was contemplating leaving the stage after more than 50 years of performing. "Show me somewhere better than this and I'll consider it."
