Nice goal to have and I’m even looking forward to the day when you can go full-time. It will be a glorious day in the world of blogging. :)

Keep on truckin’ J Money!

Maxing out both your 401k AND you Roth is genius, I 100% always recommend doing that :) But I see your point on not being able to really touch it if you retired at 50. In fact, I never even thought about that myself! I think for me I’m going to keep maxing both out until the day I go full-time by myself, and then see how much (if any) I have to play with/invest after all expenses are paid each month. If I have a lot, I’ll probably keep increasing my cash fund and nix major retirement ones for at least a year or two…. maybe I’ll do the self-employed IRA.
@Serendipity – Haha, i love how we find all this stuff fun :) we are so nerdy like that.
@Moneyedup – That’s an interesting way of thinking of things actually – what you’re NOT saving for… I might have to use that as a future post, thx!
@One Frugal Girl – Yeah it’s def hard trying to find the best way to enjoy your time & money NOW, while at the same time doing it down the road too. I don’t think working for yourself is good for everyone (maybe not even 75% of the general population, BUT if you can find something you’re passionate about and really make a living from it I am 100% about it. And until we reach that goal we just gotta hustle like a mother ;)
@Sarah Smith – YES! Let’s both do it at the same time!!! Not sure if I’ll get my hands on another $25k by then, but it’s well worth a shot :) We need to spend our time working for US, and not corporatins who profit off us like crazy and can fire us at any point in time.
@Miss Jane – Saweet.
@Jimmy – Damn, good job on that house paid off part! That’s really incredible esp these days. Let’s cheer eachother on to make $50k!
@Hank – That porsche is a nice idea :) Rental house is good too, I’m just over the whole real estate stuff right now. If you can rock it more power to you.
@Brian – Cash is most certainly King. The more you have saved, the bigger your pool of options down the road!
@Kay Lynn (Bucksome) – You and me both ;) I’m pretty sure I can last at least 2 months 100% by myself, but unless I start working out of coffee shops & libraries I may start getting antsy not being around people. If that happens, I’ll have to submit my applications for Starbucks and/or a bartender position ;) That way I can still do my own thing AND check off some of my dream jobs!

Have $25,000 saved trying to get to $50,000 only because of the economic times. Cash is king when making life changes to bad other people do not understand the value of saving.

I have paid off my house last year and drive a 16 year old truck which has no signs of failing. I have my 25k saved and was feeling ‘funny’ that I had this saved while all my friends are in 50k debt or better.
I think I will try my goal of doubling my savings, much like yourself… if I get to that point, I can move where I want to live, find work, and buy another house.
Thanks again and great job. :)

I love my job and love what I do – but I hate the corporate environment and the way people in my business act as if work is LIFE. I know life is more than sitting in an office 50 hours a week, scheduling meetings and living live through email. And so, my goal is to get to a point where I can work from home, work parttime, not work at all, or any combination of those things. ;) I’m aiming for the end of the year.

Your post definitely got me thinking though, maybe I don’t want to retire as much as I want to enjoy my work and work for myself. Definitely something to ponder.
