Well, having 'retired' twice before on achieving this once-desirable state of having enough money to 'not have to work' I can tell you that it's a state that is probably over-romanticised.
In a word, two actually, I was soon bored shitless. And in each case, my retirement lasted about 3 months. It went something like this: 1. I enjoy a month of reading, watching TV, rooting around in the garden, hanging out at Borders. 2. Around week 6 the restlessness creeps in - was I really going to spend the rest of my life doing nothing? 3. Around week 9, the brain kicks in. There must be something interesting I could do. 4. By week 12, I've started something new. I am now happily consigned to the state of knowing that I can never really retire. And that is a retirement of some sort, actually :-) Mahesh On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 2:17 PM, Eugen Leitl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 11:00:12AM +0530, Srini Ramakrishnan wrote: > > On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 8:37 PM, Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > [...] > > > Get rich?
