Of course we don&#8217;t really know the answer to those questions but we can research these areas using AI and make the best decisions we can.<\/p>\n<p>I have found AI most illuminating to discuss my future health direction with an anonymous-but-quite-friendly computer program on the other side of the world. \u00a0Needless to say there are some caveats but nevertheless I cannot deny the logical AI thinking. \u00a0In many ways I hope the AI computer program is right as it certainly tells me what I want to hear!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of health, it is eight years since my life changed so suddenly and profoundly. \u00a0In an instant the cause of my high blood pressure, failing kidneys and tiredness were explained to me. \u00a0This morning I thought of that fateful day as I went to the same hospital to provide blood and urine samples for the latest kidney checks. \u00a0Although I have gone through this procedure umpteen times before, this is the first time they couldn&#8217;t get any blood from my arm, so the other one was used, with much difficulty. \u00a0Consequently I now have a very sore arm! \u00a0I am hoping the blood tests will reveal things continue to be stable.<\/p>\n<p>I have also swapped to a new dental practice. \u00a0My old dentist told me I needed a lot of work (see <a href=\"https:\/\/maturingwell.co.uk\/index.php\/2026\/02\/01\/is-my-dentist-pulling-a-fast-one\/#more-12617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous post<\/a> about this) and my new dentist told me my teeth were fine and my gum scores were all 0 or 1. \u00a0This confirmed in my mind that my old dentist was trying to drum up business and pull a fast one.<\/p>\n<p>I told my new dentist I have only lost one tooth and I intend to keep all of the others &#8211; the inference is that I expect him to play his part in checking to make sure everything remains fine.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Personal finance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>And so onto personal finance. \u00a0A few weeks ago we had our annual review with our advisor. \u00a0Once again we were treated to all kinds of graphs and spreadsheets on the large wall-mounted TV screen while we sippped rather nice coffee from the Denby chinaware.<\/p>\n<p>It appears our funds have grown by about 23% over the last year, which is very nice to hear and it makes a change on previous years with all kinds of apologies and awkward, uncomfortable looks. \u00a0This time was good and no doubt others have found the same with rising stock markets fuelling the trend. \u00a0There was, however, a noticeable dip when Trump invaded Iran but the recovery was swift.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the inevitable questions arose about sustainability and the future outlook, the conversation changed direction. \u00a0It turned towards stress testing and the reasons for the recent growth, together with a possible crash looming in a few years.<\/p>\n<p>In the stress testing scenario, a possibility of a significant &#8220;re-adjustment&#8221; lies 3 or 4 years ahead it will take 4 or 5 years to recover. \u00a0So can our finances cope with this? \u00a0Do we need to de-risk now? \u00a0Well, this is something we discussed with the advisors and at home. \u00a0The answer? \u00a0We have our plan, our strategy. \u00a0It has worked and served us well over the years and we will continue to follow the advice.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of what has been fuelling the buoyant growth, this was explained by AI which has benefitted just about every sector and its growth has been rapid. \u00a0The term &#8220;irrational exuberance&#8221; was used to explain the stage the markets are at, or at least when trying to draw some similarity with the Dot Com frenzy of the early 2000s. \u00a0The extent to which irrational exuberance will lead to bursting bubbles, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #666699;\">A hopeful outlook<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Notwithstanding this, I remain optimistic and hopeful for the future. \u00a0In 2020 we found we had been plonked into our village, we are accepted as friends by many and, I feel, we have a part to play in our community. \u00a0Retirement has a purpose, a new depth to living our Christian faith and one which continues open many rewarding opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just a quick update folks and please be assured I&#8217;m still 64 and not the handsome 84
