This is one hurts more than others because 1)it was my first interview since I graduated college that's in my field

2)I really thought I was gonna get it, my current boss knows the hiring manger well, and put in a call for me to talk to her about me. Went really well, and such.

Oh, dear god -- I am so angry I can't even see straight. These sonsofwhores force us to upgrade our software, but we can't just upgrade once, we have to upgrade every file we use independently. In past years, this has typically been a 15 minute process for each company file --- not this year. The last one ran for over an hour and then froze @ 99% -- the previous two also took over an hour. I might spend 50 hours next week fucking around with this bullshit.

And the new version that we must upgrade to blows goats.

I need to get it together before I stroke out.

What is your #, until you say fuck it--I'm out? We were talking at work about this and I would be interested to hear some people outside of my professions opinion.

I was the lowest at 2 million. I think I could live off 2 million, especially if my house was paid off.

Im also not talking 100% retired, maybe you work some odd jobs and make like 25-40k/year. But nothing stressful or serious.

I was thinking about this the other day.

4 Million only because the kids are still young and we're in between houses. Once we get a house and/or once the kids are out of High School, that number comes down to around 2 or so.

out for me is simple and my ultimate goal.

no need for any real savings to get out in my view.

just a need for some type of cash flow positive situation where I only work for myself and have low risk of going hungry or worse.


if i had the farm set up to basically feed me and provide me with water and shelter, i honestly think i could get by on maybe $300 - $400 a month in a nice location somewhere south of mexico.

the harder part is finding someone to go with me and then leaving everyone else behind honestly.


wouldn't count any farm income in the $300 - $400 either. that would be dividends or whatnot. probably some combination of phillip morris (PM), altria (MO), and ruger (RGR). guns and smokes and gold bitchez. that is current investment strategy.

2 mill would do....have about 120K left on the house so plenty to live off after that since I'm a frugal bastard. Plus men die early in my family so hopefully I use it all up and leave my wife with nothing :)

To far in debt right now to think about the number, but working on the plan to resolve that as quickly as possible. That includes paying off the house, etc. I have never really thought that I would "retire" just find that job that would be fun and give me some cash flow to take care of day-to-day living. You know, the guy that wonders around the home improvement store telling you what aisle or the starter at a golf course. Possibly do some consulting in my field.

$2,000,000 for me

160K Left on the house, 15K left in student loans (did a 30 yr refi on those babies before the crash, glad I did) and no other debt.

I could bar tend 3 night a week and make plenty to live on and pay the bills

With no kids and the mortgage under $80k, give me $1M in ten years and we should be set. Load up on tax-free investments and supplement with some work Jan-Apr. My goal is to be at that point in 10-12 years.

Health insurance would be the only real roadblock as I apparently married some sort of genetic freakshow. Goddamned inbred Appalachian hillfolk.

Pending inflation (fuckers) and tax laws (motherfuckers), of course.

Strange day...current company got bought and they are announcing tomorrow. I haven't told them that I am leaving yet because I was aware this was happening and was afraid they would dump me. Boss just called and old company is paying thru today and the purchasing company takes over tomorrow. I am going to tell them tomorrow when the HR person calls me that I am not signing on. The big issue is the old company wiped our earned vacation at the end of the first quarter saying they instituted a new take it when you want it policy. I think that seems dubiously close to being not legal. I'm going to ask for it tomorrow. I guess it is an unpaid week and 2 days of time off....

As much as I dread working Star Wars Weekends, I just saw Mark Hammil, Ray Park, and Billy Dee Williams. Ray Park is always hilarious, and James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstein always interact with us. So I can't really complain much today (but it is blazing hot).
