New York is an instantly recognizable brand -- the ultimate distillation of metropolitan living and the imperial city of American capitalism.
New York is an instantly recognizable brand -- the ultimate distillation of metropolitan living and the imperial city of American capitalism. Hyperactive, hysterical and self-obsessively hip, nowhere else has been so mythologized by popular culture. Entire musical genres -- disco, punk and hip-hop -- were shaped there. The sidewalks, subway and skyline have inspired a lifetime of work by Gothamite auteurs such as Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen. That creativity reflects New York's restless kinetic energy. Everyone here is making something, whether it's money, music or margheritas. The huddled masses these days are more likely to be stockbrokers crammed on a downtown train, but nowhere in the world can match New York's diversity. Wave after wave of immigrants have adopted corners of the city as their own, creating an interlinked patchwork of communities representing virtually every country and culture on earth. New Yorkers may be infamous straight talkers with an inflated sense of their own importance, but

Whether or not success in life is about just showing up, as Woody Allen claimed, success in retirement investing is about proper asset allocation. Divide your retirement savings to strike the right balance between maximizing return and minimizing risk, and you're well on your way to reaching your goals.
There are few things quite so dreadful as the prospect of our own impending demise. As Woody Allen put it, "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying."
As Woody Allen said, sex is dirty only if you do it right. If you do it wrong, however, it's pretty funny.
