I guess I always thought retired meant that if all your sources of income disappeared tomorrow, you could live off of your savings for the rest of your life. Don't get me wrong, I find owning a business where you can pay your own salary impressive as well, but retiring seems a bit misleading (unless there is some detail I'm missing).
- nihilocrat 17y agoI had the same reaction. Honestly, I don't think you are missing anything, this is like an oil baron saying he's set for life because his oil rig is pumping out enough money today so that he doesn't have to work. For some reason he forgets that the oil might run out 2, 5, or 10 years from now.
