Most of the money I take home is invested in stocks/mutual funds/bonds or goes toward paying down our mortgages.
Coach, I can be in part-time work for 15 years or more, if not with the company I am with, as an idependent contractor. If I stayed part-time with my company, I would still get health benefits.
I have read Clyatt's book, which inspired me to start thinking about part-time.

Wow! 33k a month after taxes! I cant even fathom making that kind of dough. I dont know what your job is, but Id stay at it full time for the next 8 years or so regardless. Then retire fully. Youve earned it.  If you need motivation...think about people making 33k a year hauling bricks.
