Ronaldo turned 40 this year but is still playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the Portugal national team, for whom he has scored 143 times in 225 appearances an all-time record in the men's game. But with the forward, ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest players of all time, now in the twilight of his career, he has revealed that he doesn't have much longer left at the top level.

Scherzer was asked about his future and, while he avoided specifics, made clear that he's not yet ready to call it quits. "The only thing I can say is," Scherzer told reporters, as relayed Jesse Rogers of ESPN in the aftermath of last night's game, "it's going to take some time to give a full answer to that, but there is no way that was my last pitch."

When Greg Giczi retired in February, his company threw him a party. Giczi had spent 12 years as president and general manager of WNIT-TV, a public television station based in South Bend, Indiana. Public broadcasting isn't known for lavish budgets, so the party took place at the studio-a "big, open space with dramatic lighting," Giczi describes. There were appetizers, wine, and beer, as well as heartfelt speeches.

Everyone's got to work together. Everyone's got to know their assigned task and try to have a little bit of understanding of what the next one's task is, Knipel said. And you get there were so many histories of so many other bureaucracies, other counties, where there's infighting and in defining and backstabbing among staff. We never had that in Brooklyn, never my experience. Everybody relied on everybody else.

At a time when the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement is spreading across the U.S., 101-year-old Ann Angeletti who still works six days a week embodies the exact opposite ethos. Let's call it WATER (Work And Thrive, Evade Retirement). It's a fitting acronym, given she's cool, brimming with life and remains enthusiastic about running her store, Curiosity Jewelers in Cresskill, New Jersey.

His parents are Baby Boomers who, he says, exhausted their funds five years ago - although they only told him when they were on the brink of homelessness. Because of health problems and age-related constraints that make work impossible, the user stepped in to support them and to manage their finances. He persuaded them to sell their large, debt-laden home (despite their request that he simply continue paying their mortgage). Now they live in a modest cottage near him so he can regularly assist them.

The Nordic country of Finland stands out when it comes to quality of life, earning the top spot on the Global Retirement Index from Natixis Investment Managers. The country moved up a spot after coming in second place last year. To determine the ranking, the company looked at five quality of life indicators: air quality, biodiversity and habitat, environmental factors, happiness, and water and sanitation. Finland was a standout in happiness and water and sanitation, taking the top spot in both categories.

"That day changed everything for me," Leno wrote in a post on Instagram. "It changed the way I see life, the way I carry myself and most of all, it changed what matters most to me."

Campbell has been without a club since leaving London City Lionesses at the end of last season following their promotion to the WSL. The 32-year-old won 57 caps for Republic of Ireland after making her senior debut in August 2011 against Switzerland. Campbell, who could play left back or centre back, was a member of the Irish squad that qualified for the 2023 Women's World Cup, but she missed the tournament through injury.

Mike Shildt is retiring after two seasons as the San Diego Padres' manager. The Padres confirmed the 57-year-old Shildt's decision Monday. In a letter to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Shildt said he is retiring because the grind of the baseball season has taken a severe toll on me mentally, physically and emotionally. Shildt went 183-141 and led San Diego to two postseason appearances during his brief tenure.

'Who would've thought that a kid from Greenville, AL, with just one year of high school football experience, would go on to play professional football in the NFL for 11 incredible years!... As I step into the newest season of my life, please know this game has meant the world to me. The lessons learned on and off the field will stay with me forever.'

"After an incredible 27 years, with a fair few injuries along the way, the time has come to hang up the boots and step away from playing the game I have loved since I was six years old," she told Saracens' website, external. "To finish my career by running out at the StoneX one last time, in a final against Harlequins no less, could not have been scripted any better. And to have found my way home to the club makes it even more special."

If there is one thing we can all be sure of, it's that we all want to retire as soon as we possibly can. The goal is to either to make as much money as possible through working or invest smartly and end up with as much money as you can before finally deciding to call it quits from the workforce.
