I still have a while yet before I retire, but that's a good thing. I'm not financially prepared yet!

I literally just started it, I am only 28, so I think I have some time for compounding lol. I don't think I'll every REALLY retire, just because I get bored and will drive The Wife nuts, but for someone that wants to literally do nothing I am not too sure the You Inc Idea would work I have this dream of owning a bad ass portfolio (yes, that is THE technical term) of stable dividend producing stocks.

Sounds like you are thinking about this stuff and taking action. That's half the battle. By all means....let's compare notes in 20 years...! Simple in France,

Sounds like you are thinking about this stuff and taking action. That’s half the battle. By all means….let’s compare notes in 20 years…!

I'm forced to get my act together. Until recently, my retirement funds have been held by the State of California--I'll be taking those out and putting them someplace more reputable and less likely to go bankrupt. I've always liked the idea of investing in real estate, but that's probably because I understand it better than other kinds of investments . . .and maybe also because it's tangible. I wouldn't mind having small rental properties and since rent tends to keep up with inflation, I figure it's a good bet--as long as you don't rack up a huge mortgage when investing. I am researching the stock market a little bit more now, but am still undecided as to what kinds of funds to invest in. . . As for blogging . . . it's kind of funny to think of having a blog for 20 years (they come and go so fast!) But I suppose it could be a revenue stream at some point. Currently, I blog for free and for fun. I guess we'll both have to take stock of that one in 20 years. One other thing I'd add is that I hope to/intend to get a plot of land on which to grow my own food. I don't expect to earn money that way, but to use it as one way to keep inflation at bay if/when we ever do retire. . .and just because it sounds fun. Ok, novel over!
