End Game

I have had a goal for a long time to be alleviated of my need to work every day so I could focus on my investments and my family. However, with four kids, that is a tough nut to crack. Recently I was home from work sick for a few days. It dawned on me as I lay on the couch how disturbed I must be that I would prefer to get ill rather than go to my job.

This got me thinking and I decided to turn this goal into a number. After figuring for current salary, benefits, inflation, and throwing in extra for the risk factor, I realize I need $6,000 a month to quit my job.

For some this figure may seem huge, and I admit it is a bit daunting to me, but at least now I have some thing to whittle away at. As I post I will keep you all updated as to my progress towards this goal. Currently I outside my job, I make about $2/month through some domain parking.

The road ahead seems long right now, but as time goes buy I should be able to report its shortening. Tomorrow I will tell you about one of my ventures towards this goal.
