I have some way to go yet only being 25, but to hell with working for another 40 years! I reckon cash permitting I wanna retire around the age of 50 if not before
partial retirement in 5 to 10 years(that means a minimum of work per week... let's say 5 or 10 hours in average). If i'm working from the Internet or on cool projects I don't think i'd ever retire... but just have cool schedule and do what I want whenever I want.
A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".
Never... I'll always be semi-retired like we are now. Working keeps you young and alive if you like what you do. I'll always have my hands on some project, whether it's online or offline.

Well, I probably did what not many could do at my age.
I just took over 6 months off from working, moved to the country, got married, etc... 7 month vacation and I got bored. Hell, I already miss the fast pace of Los Angeles, and want to move back! If you count the year it took me to move, I didn't really do much for almost 2 years!
what I found is I enjoy doing what I do more than I thought I did, and decided I could actually make much more money (its addicting) and I can't sit around and "do nothing" related to making money.
So my wife and I have *new* goals, and ideas we plan to reach and execute.
The next time I move and "retire" it will be in a small town in Humboldt, Califoria.
In my view I am already retired. It was my goal to be able to quit my former job by the time I was 40. Thanks to this business I accomplished that 3 years early. I'm 44 now, have been working from home at my liesure for 8 years now.... it's not an official gov't-sanctioned retirement... but it's still a retirement of significance in my book. Maybe it's semi-retired, I don't know. Don't care. :D
I'm with Minte... I'll continue to work like this until it no longer suits me.
I love developing businesses. Its stressful at times but I dont think of it as work. I wake up every morning excited to work on our ideas, our clients ideas, etc.
So to answer your question....I would love to someday travel the world splitting time at my *dream houses* in Seattle, L.A. , New York, Phlippines, Costa Rica, and Italy
...but i'll still have my laptop attached to me in all those places. Wouldn't want it any other way!
Never. No one in my family has ever retired and they've certainly had the financial ability to do it. When my grandfather was in his 60's he sold his snack company for enough money to live VERY well for the rest of his life. He bought a 2K acre functioning cattle ranch and got up, put a suit on (with a bolo now instead of a tie - and he wore a cowboy hat - he was SO into the fact he was a "cowboy" now, lol) and went to his office on the farm every day. He even kept his office down by the Atlanta airport until he died in his upper 80's.
My other grandfather sold specialized marketing and had customers he had had for decades. He was filling an order when he died that my mother and grandmother had to finish up to get it to his customer.
My Dad is in his 70's and started 2 companies last year.
Now, I have to admit, the wimmin folk in my southern families haven't worked much. I will probably be the only one who keeps finding things to do forever since I was also one of the first females in my family to have a "real" job - which was pretty much a neccesity after getting divorced and having a baby to raise. My mother is retiring in 6 months. She's only been working for about 25 years, but she found a way to do it so she could get her "to the grave" retirement/assisted living/nursing home completely paid for, lol. We're sneaky too.........
