Retirement is the #1 killer of older persons!

I like this thread, keep it rolling. :)

If you wanna get insane rich it requires creativity, balls and some serious risk taking

Was not thinking insanely rich. Just no worries rich.

Then again I suppose it completely depends on your lifestyle

What about Asia? I know that's a lot cheaper than Brazil, countries like Thailand etc

It's cheaper in asia than in brazil, plus you have all the production in asia which means that things like electronics are cheap. I'm not sure if asia would be a good place to live for the sole purpose of saving money, it's more of a lifestyle and being able to work from your house on the beach...

I like it too, but I like all similar business/lifestyle threads

My husband and I still work on our sites, but we consider ourselves semi-retired just because of the relaxing lifestyle we live, thanks to internet porn. We don't plan to ever fully retire though.

Where is everyone coming up with 10% ???

Your retirement money should not be in risky investments ....

Yea it's heartbreaking but lower the rate of return and see the difference in living standards.

You can get some awesome property cheap in Thailand.

I don't recommend fulltime retiring young or old.

The best thing to do, if you want to head that way, is to just allow your schedule to include more R&R time for things besides business.

I think it's much better for your health and stamina, and your business, to keep working until you no longer can physically. Working hard keeps you going and competitive. It's like being on a sports team and keeps the spirit energized.

From a money standpoint, retiring means you'll miss out on lots of new opportunities because your eye will no longer be on the ball.

Probably true for many people - but for many others, not necessarily.
As a one-man band (currently) who has spent most of his life (in other industries, not just this one) as a workaholic doing anywhere from 10-16 hours a day - the ideas of not having to get up in the morning to immediately deal with "customer service" (that is, dealing with morons and functional illiterates), updates and so on - being able to take a 3 week vacation without having to take a laptop to be able to work on the road - and not having to worry about the world of 2257 is a *very* appealing concept :winkwink:

Being able to retire comfortably and spend time with family, travelling, reading, and doing volunteer work seems like a very nice goal - at least to me :-)
