My goal is to retire comfortably in ten years. That means that the savings plan is going to be ramped up, and Our Beloved Leader is going to have to agree to realize that the money that I earn is mine. Otherwise, I might just have to retire in ten years, and not be quite so comfortable. I am fairly certain that I can fairly easily live on about $5k a month in current dollars, with my house paid off, my truck paid off, etc. I could actually probably get it down to $3k, pretty easily. In order to do that, I am going to have to make sure that I am getting a pretty consistent return on my investment.
Or, I could go down and live in a van by the river...
