Hello everyone! I'm 32 years old and I have been working for around 8 years now with an average of 80 hours 6-7 days a week. Over the course of that time, I've become burnt out on my job, and want to begin transitioning into retirement, which for me is doing something that I want to do, and not having to worry about the daily grind in order to pay my bills. I like to work and start business ventures, so I don't think I could hang out on a beach or golf everyday for eternity. I basically want to work because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to.
To date, I have $1 Million in silver and gold mining stocks, (give or take, depending on the day), and I save around $40,000 in an individual 401k, with another $40,000 going into taxable accounts every year.
Although I have a good retirement nest egg started, I realize that to be truly financially independent, one needs to focus on developing income streams such as rental income, royalties, etc. I'm looking forward to joining in the discussions and getting any pointers from anyone here who has experience with passive income streams. I will likewise try and offer any insight I have stock market insight I have accumulated over the last few years.
Glad to be here!
Nathaniel
