My goal is to be able to spend my life spending time with my family. Have them never have to worry about money. Hike the Appalachian Trail. Get in the best shape of my life and take 4 weeks of vacation a year. See the world.
Eventually I'd also like to be an angel investor and help entrepreneur's achieve their dreams too.
My method to achieve that is very unsexy. I am simply working hard to fully fund my retirement account.
Right now I am funded well enough to retire at 60 if I contribute nothing more -- I'm 33 -- but I want enough to be able to retire immediately. Which would be about $6MM USD.
Not so I don't have to work (I'll still work anyway) but so I can be picky about who I work for / what projects I work on. Probably even self-fund some of my own idea.
To help with that I've accumulated as much equity in startups as I can muster through hard work and making the value I added good enough to earn substantial equity.
