And you wonder why we call them the Maple Laffs... monumental choke. :biggrin:

I love sports. Love playing them. Love watching the elite athletes play them. Can't explain why, I just do.

Not sure you can really call it "retiring" if your wife still intends to work. But I may quit my current career next year and become a "kept man". :tongue-new: Although, to be fair, between managing...

Interesting thread. I am thinking of leaving my employer in a year or two, so some of these questions have been rolling around in my head.

I am a member of a very good DB plan, and I have to...

Just crunched some numbers - looks like our home comprises about 17% of our net worth. Like PA, mortgage free at 41! Every available nickel now going to ER fund!!!

Yep, not a difficult skill to learn. Most of my experience has been with sheds and other outbuildings. Will be building a cottage in the next few years, and will probably shell out for a strong metal...

How did I miss this thread? Donald's story is very interesting. Thankfully I'm more than ten years removed from the dating scene, having met and married a woman whose outlook on life matters,...

Marina, I would have absolutely no problem having dinner made for my wife every night when she got home. In fact, learning to cook proficiently (right now, I'm a bit of a hack in the kitchen) is...

Thanks for that Steve... I kinda figured that's what you meant. :)

Well, for one thing, there hopefully won't be a "multigazillion" sum for anyone, be they canine, feline, or my vast array of...

I post over at the MMM forum every now and then.

Every thing I've read over there suggests I really don't need to work much longer.

My net worth is significantly larger than the Mustached One,...

The trouble is that to buy something in a safe area, you are going to pay more. My wife and I have a condo in perhaps one of the safest parts of Mexico (southern Baja) and while prices might be...

I would question why retire early at all if you can't envision what you would do in your early retirement.

My own burning desire to quit full time employment is that my job prevents me from doing...
