I'm going to be 100% honest here: I know nothing about hair loss and potential cures. But I've always heard finasteride has ED as main side effect. I don't know if I'd want to mess about with it.

I never heard finasteride before, but people in my area who suffer from hair losing used to buy Minoxidil and they responded well. Although, using these kind of medications, are not without side effect cuz if you use it you will have severe shedding when you use it and you have to continuously use it to prevent more hair loss.

I just started shaving my head at 30. It's hair. Losing it is such a blessing.

I'm fortunate so far in that I haven't experienced it yet.

But if it comes I believe the only thing you really can do is accept it. The other options are always worse.

Would you accept a lower paying career in order to retire early with a pension?

I'd need more specifics on the numbers, but generally no. Tomorrow's not promised today, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and other such cliches

Retirement age is gonna be 80 by the time we retire

Yeah I'm not really counting on being able to live off of a pension

@Juve92 to add to what Seven just said, yeah there's people who suffer from long term/permanent ED with finasteride (arguably the permanent side effects are psychological if hormone levels return to baseline) so I would say take it at your own risk but my brother and I take it and we're fine.

Minoxidil is good but it's not something you can just quit at any time due to the shedding phase when you first start using it. If you're not consistent with it, it's bound to damage your hairline more than help it.

Probably better for me to just make more money in the UK, invest, and retire in Bolivia.

Meh, maybe.

I'm going to retire at 60 when I kill myself.

People generally die shortly after they retire.

So, no.

We're talking about 55 years old or so in this scenario.

They still die shortly after they retire. Retirement makes people weak and frail.

Unless of course you mean retirement in the sense of finding something else to do and maybe earn a little less. I think I'm at a point in my life where I do want to have some sort of purpose in my days.

Depends. If you live in the coutryside and work on your field or something, chances are you will live longer than majority imo.

This is a radical generalization, bro.

Yeah, but then you'd still be "working". I guess my point is that you need to do something, stay active.

Yet it's true. But I will admit my definition of "work" is broad. I include volunteering for example.

Headed to ETH Denver again

let’s hope it was as good as last year

[Juve92]

I would avoid taking finasteride. Have you tried topical minoxidil 5%?

You had bad experience with it? Never tried minoxidil bro, finasteride is more effective as far as I know

 

[GordoDeCentral]

If you wanna go for effective the best is dutasteride. But DHT plays a huge role in libido and mood regulation i would not fuck with it at the liver level. Especially when you can get implants and avoid the risk altogether.

Unless you're in the US. Which, given its life expectancy trends, might put retirement age at about 52 by then.

Totally agreed, then. I also think when people retire and decide to pretty much give up life, mainly watching TV and reducing activity to a bare minimum, that they are quite fragile and it's when everything starts to fall apart. Pretty sad/scary, but it's like they (some) give up on life.
