Hello im another Ed, really glad to have found this site. Im only 27 and im halfway to early retirement just setting it up this year, but at the moment ive been busier then ive ever been. Idecided to invest in property and be a landlord there had to be some major sacrifices, it could end up turning into being a full time job property developing but what ill have in place for the moment should have me getting by, and then the plan is to visit a nice asian country for a year which im just back from, do i can test what its like to live there. So a few major decisions to be done and i wouldnt say it is smooth sailing but its looking alright, it certainly could be a lot worse after all who else would be able to look at retirement this early. When people ask me what i do i say im young entrprenure/buisnessman investor or property developer, which is kinda true really just gives me a lot of free time, it was either that or top myself working in all those different places drove me bananas, i love doing my own thing and im a great believer in you dont have to be doing something to be doing something, i have done far more productive things doing what somone observing from the outside considers nothing just cos your not in a full time job, so its all a state of mind aswell really and ofcourse its all about money at the end of the day too, just for the record im INTP too, love this forum great nice to meet you all.... Ed.
