FIRE? Go to sporting events!
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1910346

"Reached by phone Wednesday after the winning bid was announced, Williams said that he'll quit his job as a broker's assistant in San Mateo but that he has no idea what he'll do with the money.?"

Retire on $800K? I have a feeling he'll be back to work in 5 years, worse off than he is right now. He certainly is a "Young Dreamer" hahaha. Still not a bad return on a $100-$200 baseball ticket.

Since this guy works in a place that sells Stocks and Bonds, it shows you how little his associates know about Retirement Planning.

It's all about Sales!
