Stop in for a cup of coffee
Ramie I have to ask why the plunge?
Good question, may sound stupid but I've been thinking a lot (for a long time now) about why are we on this earth, what do I want to accomplish etc.. Well although a good job and health insurance is nice, and we have a comfortable life. I dont feel like if I continue this route I will be fulfilled and happy with my life. I dont think Im here to eat, sleep, work, repeat, and then when I can finally retire, go out and enjoy it. I dont know how my health will be when I retire. Im healthy now and I want to make the most of this life while I have my health and the time. If things dont work out Im still young enough I can get decent employment if I need to return.
I like traveling and really enjoy seeing and being a part of others cultures, what better way to get to do that. If I need to make money, I can pick up odd jobs or help repair others boats. Mechanics and HVAC experience is in high demand, so I can pretty much charge what ever I would like to fix someones stuff on there boat. I dont plan on working at all and we are budgeting around $1400-2k per month to live off of. That should easily carry me well past the age of 55 (which is when I can start drawing my retirement)
