else because he is the best.

Today let's get into it, nice and quick, let's go to Mike from Tennessee.

Yes, I had a retirement question, I'm currently 49 years old, my wife is as well, we don't

have any children, and I was on track to try to early retire and I was trying to do so

fairly comfortably, but recently I went and had what's called a coronary calcium

score, which basically is a rough indicator of how much plaque you have in your coronary

arteries.

I did this because my dad died of a heart attack when he was 59 years old, so that's why

I went on track to try to early retire because I didn't want to go down that path, so

the calcium score did not come back very good for my age group, bottom 8 percentile as

far as a predictability of coronary calcium, so that's not good, that's in a high risk

group, so considering maybe make it to lifestyle changes earlier than I was going to in ways

of retirement, I did make lifestyle changes as a way of diet and exercise and all that.

Recently, so I just want to give you my current situation and see what your thoughts are

on retiring within the next year as opposed to the next three to four years of original

plan.

Let me just ask you a question, so you're 49 now, you are asymptomatic, except for this

bad report, you are feeling well today, correct?
