    What I did was work out how long i would live for and how much capital I would tear up in that time and thought yep that will do me fine.
    For me I'm single no kids and well might as well enjoy and spend it all before i fall over.

    IMO guys I'd rather retire and have fun while young and well do part time work to keep the mind strong.

    Imagine what it's "Gunna" (TM someone on here:D) be like when he actually finishes up at the end of this month. October may be a good time to take a holiday. :)

    1/6th ? I hope you don't regret it in a few years. I thought about chucking it in a few years back when I got burnt out. Glad I chose to keep going but work a bit less instead.

    its not all about the money.
    L laugh loud at the guy he tells everyone he is worth this and that.Serious wealth is when you are up around 250 million.
    Will do other things but i don't want to run my own business anymore,got a number of people whom want me involved with them,but only keen on earning a dollar if their is fun and a drink in it.
    Question? How do you work in melton,its hardly Toorak.

    Congrats again RB! ;);)

    I am OVER my job. A couple of really big jobs over the last few months really has me wondering why the **** I bother with this ****. :(:(

    Its really tough on the body down there. Plus its greasy, hot and heavy work. :(:(

    My body is killing me at the moment. My arms are killing me and my back is sore. :(:(

    Is it really worth the chump change they pay me to hurt myself or wear my body out? I am starting to think not. :D:D

    I should start to look for an office job. Sitting around all day getting paid $50K sounds like a good gig to me. :D:D

    I was talking to a workmate last night, I said I cant *WAIT* for retirement. Its only around 20 yrs away, but I am certainly looking forward to it. :D:D

    I wish I could earn the money I am on now on the Gold Coast. If anyone knows ANY job, doing ANYTHING (and I mean anything) on the Gold Coast/Brissy area that pays $111K..............


    Please call Pap on- 1800-Pap-is-ready-to-kill-himself
