It was enlightening to see a number closer to the real difference I'll be living with when I take this leap!

I came back to this post based on your recent post on Tim Ferriss' book. What I found interesting about the book is that your ability to implement his plan does not depend the vagaries of any investment sector. Although those who have been in real estate for awhile have done well and may continue to do well, I am concerned that new investors are coming into the real estate market as the bubble has popped. It may be awhile before those with little capital can make a living from real estate (just look at NASDAQ.) Although I happen to believe that commodities are next big thing, Tim does not push any investment except into one's self and a sustainable online business. I'll keep you informed on whether it works or not. DR,

Rather than go from working 40 hours a week to zero at age 65, why not begin gradually reducing your working hours much earlier. Of course, with working part time comes making less money. Could you take a 20% cut in pay? It actually may be less than you think once you factor in how much of that 20% you actually take home after taxes.

Some of my side biz stuff that I put less than 1 hour in a week have been giving me an increasing return of $100 more a month, and some creative tweaking brought it up to $200 more a month. This month, actually I havent done a damn thing, and I still made money. How awesome is that? Real wealth is about getting your time back. I'd love to have a 24-hour work week, and a 4-hour work week. The book and your post demonstrate they are both attainable.
