Retire in a Weekend
"I define retirement as making work optional. Regardless of your age or net-worth, it’s about discovering
your purpose, living with passion, total self-reliance, transformation and creative self-expression. My view is not that “Life is too short”, but rather that 'Life is too long not to be doing those things that are fun and rewarding', and that the majority of people in our society and culture don’t spend enough time examining these issues. I endeavor to help you clarify, simplify and gain control of the big picture of your life."
-----
"It's time to live life on your terms...and there are three simple rules for doing that:
- Stop doing what you DON'T want to do.
- Start doing what you DO want to do.
- Don't let anyone tell you what you CAN'T or SHOULDN'T do."
-----
"People ask, I love what I do. Should I retire?
Absolutely not! If you love what you do, you aren't 'working', you're playing. This is the zone everyone should be in regardless of their age or net worth. Plus, the longer you generate an income, the less you'll need to save."
-----
"When you realize that whether or not you achieve your financial goals will depend, in large part, on how well you position your assets, you'd have to say it's one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. The ultimate goal, or course, is a secure retirement. How soon you retire, your expedted rate of return, how much risk you take, how much money you can take out, and how long your money will last, are greatly affected by this one decision. As a result, I spend a tremendous amount of time on the asset allocatioin decision with my private clients." |
