Good luck on achieving your goal of financial freedom. <BR/><BR/>Another thing to be ready for is the surprise of family, colleagues and friends who find it hard to believe anyone would, could or want to retire in one's forties. Everyone keeps expecting me to say I'm going to another company or starting a business. A topic for a future post :-)<BR/><BR/>@ Millionaire Mommy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks. Congratulations to you too, especially on your daughter and being able to spend time with her. Hopefully, our experiences can help others achieve a goal of early retirement :-)Super Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172939501208456194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-20036961732235743042007-10-08T19:24:00.000-04:002007-10-08T19:24:00.000-04:00Congratulations!

We seem to share some exciting things in common - We retired in our 40's, I'm a personal finance blogger, we love to travel, AND we adopted our daughter from China, too! She's 2 1/2 years old now. We feel so darn lucky to afford to stay at home and raise her together.<BR/><BR/>We've always been very involved in hobbies, so now we do more of them. I exercise my intellect through writing on my blog (I share how I retired early). And we volunteer.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for an easy and joy-filled transition into early retirement! Enjoy life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-59269840248107417772007-10-07T14:41:00.000-04:002007-10-07T14:41:00.000-04:00Congratulations!

I am closing in on my last work day, as well, and will be very interested in reading about your experiences in the 3rd phase. <BR/><BR/>Terminating the 2nd work phase is proving to be more emotional than I had anticipated. I have mixed feelings about retiring early - anxious to be "free", but concerned about leaving a structured work day and dealing with greed, of all things. I know what it will take for me to be financially independent and the importance of choosing life over money, but still....its tough to walk away from a large salary. (assuming no option of returning) <BR/><BR/>I am currently considering going part time to help with the transition and making plans for my dream job. The desire to get going on that dream should help squelch any reservations about leaving work.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051956393849535207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-24454706615693953202007-10-07T13:11:00.000-04:002007-10-07T13:11:00.000-04:00Awesome!!
