    Thanks again for the input, but this is getting a little embarrassing since I feel like the thread's become an analysis of me and my financial future! Yikes!! I'd love to have all these conversations going on privately! (Because I love the synergy of having all you guys trying to help me "get...

    S-Corp, actually, since it is primarily a professional service provider. But still. Working on them. WLB, in Glendale. Know 'em?

    No. Not for both of us to "retire". definitely not! :nonod: I would start considering it. And no, I'm not one of those who loves the thrill of making a good salary. I'm also not a security freak. I'm actually a bit of a risk-taker. But I've stepped in and out of the corporate world several...

    Do you live off of your business(es) and/or investments?

    HOT! 
    Not really. I've kinda wrapped up the "doodad-gathering" phase of my life, and am moving on into asset acquisition phase. I realize (now) that I went about it all backwards. But I can't change that now. I'm just hesitant to give up the consulting gig because I've yet to find anything to...

    That's because I AM a middle-class rat racer. LOL. But I am in the process of changing that, which is why I am coming to B&P and in other ways trying to gain as much knowledge into REI as I can, as I believe this will be the most efficient tool for me to move into the fastlane. I'm not trying...

    Me too! I'm very excited to brainstorm with you guys! (OK, it may just be a flurry in my case!) Thanks so much for spending the time to help me think about ideas beyond my current line of sight. Speed+

    ATW ~ These all sound great to me. A couple of other topics I would be interested in hearing about, if someone knows anything about them, would be: Loaning out hard money - especially from a self-directed IRA (or is this the Microcredit to which you referred, ATW?) Real estate Development -...

    Yes. I have the computer-based version. I'm looking forward to playing the boardgame at Beer & Pancakes. I understand the concept. I'm just not willing to take the kid out of private school, and move to a lesser neighborhood so I could have $18K/mo to invest in fastlane projects instead of...

    Thanks for the insight and feedback, phlgirl. I think I recall reading that you have the same background - HR software consulting, formerly Big 5? (Or was that someone else?) And no, I wouldn't be willing to give up the lifestyle to buy my freedom 5 years sooner. This is, after all, the...

    Wow. While I'll admit that I waste a ton of my life on other equally stupid stuff, this thread makes me SOOOOOoooo happy to be the oldest poster on here.

    LOL. Anyone remember the episode of Family Ties when Alex took little Andy Keaton to his preschool and gave them the lecture on capitalism?? When they told the kids to share, he responded, "What is this? The Karl Marx preschool?!!" LOL. Note: No response required. This was just a funny little...

    Do you live off of your business(es) and/or investments?

    HOT! 
    Nope. I've understood for many years, conceptually, that I had to create some sort of residual (passive) income in order to be truly financially free. I lived off my MLM income for 10 years, and off my ebay ("S" business) for another 3. But in order to maintain the lifestyle to which I've grown...

    Well, yes and no. Depends on your needs. If you have simple, straight-forward deliverables, then go with the young, hungry 20-yr-old developer who's bright, but just now trying to build a resume (read, "cheap"). If, however, you have unique constraints which demand the skills and experience...

    Homeless: Can you build a life from $25?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Right. For fear of getting political, I won't dive too deep here. But I do think that what you said is true. I'll be willing to write in an exception clause, however, for the elderly and the (truly) infirm who did all the right things, then got blindsided when they were beyond their...

    Homeless: Can you build a life from $25?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    But I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, you developed the belief that you too could have more? Right? Comes back to one's expectations.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, Russ. I'm an open book, if I can offer anything to anyone which they will find helpful. I just don't want to drag out the proverbial "family movies" and bore everyone to tears with details of "our last trip".

    Homeless: Can you build a life from $25?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've argued this many times with people who believe that the station into which you are born dictates where you will have to spend your life. In some cultures, that is true. I've just never bought into it though, in our culture. Maybe I'm naive. While I was not "to the manor born", I was...
