Kronk called himself a heretic. But I doubt he can compete with me:
I really enjoy everything about this forum, but I believe that I actually have different goals than everyone else. Here's where I am headed:
1. Save up enough $$ to be able to live anywhere I want in the world.
2. Save up enough $$ to be able to work part time from #1 on my two favorite jobs (translating and trading).
3. Never fully retire.
Okay, now this is going to sound twisted I think to most people, but I love trading and translating so much that I really can't imagine ever wanting to stop. So I utilize the advice on this forum because I still need to save a lot to do these goals and to make sure my expenses are constrained, but my goal isn't to quit working. I just want to "work" - although it isn't really work to me it is play - in a relaxed and part time manner.
Now why am I bringing this up? Because I want to know if you think there's something wrong with me? No, seriously, I feel kind of guilty that I don't want to retire, but the truth is that I don't. I really want to die in the Mediterranean with my beautiful wife doing what I love. Are you going to send the FIRE police to get me and take away?
