Title: Early Semi-Retirement
Post by: vite on November 08, 2012, 09:16:02 PM
So Im 30, and I am planning on an early semi-retirement, atleast for a few years.
Decided to go to the country side and live a slow paced life style with my wife and kids.

First thing, which I know is untrue but, when I get drunk I'll try out is cow tipping

Next things I might try well, jogging to the beach or using a bicycle, haven't decided yet.

Swimming at the beaches, several about 5 min drive or 20 min walk away.

Well, quality time with the wife and kids, except when I am doing some drunken cow tipping.

there is a nice surfing beach near where I am planning to move, about an hour away, so might take up that sport.

Any other ideas?

Take up a profitable hobby/interest?

It might be fun and budget enhancing to learn how to operate a crane or get licensed to do something few people do. I have thought that if I had a billion $ (or BTC) I would go the firefighter academy then become a Mayan history expert then learn Chinese, etc. Occasionally I might make a buck pursuing my interests.

If you have any talent become a writer.

Run Bitcoin accepting business from home.

Learn computer programming and start writing software. The programmers are always in short supply.

Get a pilot's license and run cargo from South America for Silk Road.

If I retired I'd be traveling all over the place, not on a bicycle, but on some kind of jet-powered flying machine.

Bad news! Ever since farmers started assigning one goat to each cow, cow tipping has become a thing of the past.

You could always learn a new language, write a book or take up some sports.

I've been thinking the same! Since our great leaders are introducing all kinds of measures to make working less and less profitable, I have also decided to drastically reduce my efforts, maybe stop working completely. I haven't decided yet where and how to spend my time. Cow tipping sounds great and it will definitely provide more satisfaction than seeing my profits being taken by the government.

Right there with ya buddy - I'm in the process of building a straw housing development in California... Very cheap to construct... and as soon as it's finished I'll be retiring myself.

Why not make a blog about your adventures, perhaps you'd even make some money off it!
