Popular Post david rigby Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 2, 2021 Today is the first day of the rest of your life. It's also the first day after my retirement. After 43 years of being an actuary, I'm moving on to other things. It has been a wonderful profession. Thanks to Dave Baker and BenefitsLink, and all the contributors here, for helping. My brain will not atrophy, at least not immediately; I'll be glad to help anyone who needs anything. A brief reflection on the most important rules of consulting: 1. Never lie to your clients, or your colleagues. 2. Never be late for a meeting. 3. Date everything, and never back-date anything. 3a. Date and initial all worksheets, drafts, etc. Don't toss any of them until you have completed the final version. 4. Remember that you are selling expertise and creative thinking, not trying to fit your client into a pre-determined solution. 5. Professionalism and integrity matter. Good luck. Rigby out.

Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.

Belgarath Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Good for you! Your participation will be missed. Enjoy every minute! I'm reminded of a quote I read a LONG, LONG time ago - rather corny, but the point of the message has always stuck with me. Lost between sunrise and sunset. One golden hour, set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for it is gone forever.
Mike Preston Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Thanks, David, for years of sage advice. You will be missed. Enjoy.
