Howdy folks,
About 2 years years ago, I had an epiphany and left my soul-sucking job to explore different ways to live. It got me thinking about early retirement, which I talked about in this thread:

I spent most of that time traveling and camping and traveling some more, from Alaska to Costa Rica, driving around in an old truck and enjoying the hell out of life. I met people from all walks, from wage slaves to partial-retirees to trustafarians to fully retired folks. It was a fascinating experience. I came away with two realizations:
In this thread, I'd like to bounce some ideas off y'all, share my current AA, and start pondering my next steps.
All I can say at this point is the only thing that brings me into the office is possibility that prudent investing will get me off the hamster wheel.

- I will never be bored if I retire. The world is just too fascinating.
- I could live and retire in Latin America and be happy with it.
