I couldn't stand workin for 'THE MAN"   Went in to biz for myself. The best part of being your own boss, is that you only have to work half a day. The hard part is figuring out which 12 hour period that is going to be? Now I'm counting the days. I can hardly wait to make a list with ONLY my stuff on it!

  EXIT ON May, 2010. Three more long years,  wish me luck.

The nice thing about being retired ( 5 years now ) is your days are longer and you can change your schedule to make things fit in.  It seems like a long time coming but the rewards are worth it. Just take care of your health and keep busy.  :-D

I made a list when I was in my early teens and I am still working to get it all in.
Some things I even go back to and do again.  :wink:

I've told friends that it's easy to figure out when to retire. It's when the BS outweighs the benefit.

Everything being equal, you'll know when it's time.

I checked with a Financial Advisor, showed him my IRA, 401K and bank statements  :-o
He said I had plenty of money to retire... as long as I didn't plan to live too long  :roll:

Rick: When you stop working, it can be a very scary and traumatic experience.  Most people don't realize that it costs money to work. When I quit, I found that my wife and I had more disposable money than when I was working.  Sometime you may find that you are working for nothing.  This is not a good deal.
