I love my work. I currently commute 3 days a week though the commute is brutal. I will probably ask to tele-commute 100%. If that fails then I can easily find a contract minutes from my door. No matter what I will be working but my job may be simply managing my own investments. I'd like to...

18 months ago I felt I needed a big change so I spent every extra minute on investments and education related to my investments; it has paid off. I just turned the big 4-0 this month. My wife and I will both retire in a few months with about $15M. The interest income will replace our...
