Really interesting article, well written, and all on one page. Reminds me of this Philip Greenspun piece on early retirement: http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/early-retirement/ http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/early-retirement/ One of my favorite pieces of advice on not getting swindled I think comes from Oprah: always be the only person who can sign your checks. You'd be surprised how many people who come into sudden wealth give someone else they barely know the keys to the vault without a second thought.
