I'm trying to set up passive income streams now. Once that takes care of your expenses, you're essentially retired. That's my retirement plan, this 401k crap, I guess it could be good, you could also get wiped out if the markets do, which they probably eventually will in the next 5-10 years.
I'm trying to set up a Ponzi scheme so I can retire NOW. Hopefully in a couple years I can surpass HCP's post count.
I'm going to put all of my money into Nintendo stock, then sell it for a huge profit. Retirement achieved.
Nice. That's a cool area. We used to hang out there at least twice per year (a family member had a cabin in Depoe Bay, and some family friends would bring their RV to the park and we'd have fun on the beach for a week at a time).
