Have you ever thought of quitting your job and moving close to a beach?
That is essentially retiring, but what prevents us from doing it? Our Kids?
What keeps you motivated to work hard?

I'm working on a plan to achieve this in the next 10 years. Call it early part-time retirement. I don't have kids, so that makes it easier.
I've decided that it's crucial to have a solid plan. Currently working on a criteria to help determine my perfect destination. Factors will include cost of living, climate, health care, economic and political stability, language, property costs, safety. There is no place that will meet all my desires, so my criteria should help me decide on the best possible location.
Also need to figure out how to save enough money to survive, and have enough squirrelled away to move back to Canada and get re-started, if I choose to do so in the future. Don't want to get stuck in a struggling economy.
There's so much to figure out, but I've got time because it's going to take a while to save up a nest-egg. I just turned 32 and realized I have no long-term goals. Nothing inspires me to make money these days. I've become comfortable and unmotivated. Hopefully this is a project that can keep me occupied and motivated for the next few years. Then, relax.

the thing that stops me from moving to the beach is my life in London. I love it.
The thing that stops me from working is my life in London. It costs cash in wage size amounts.
(I studied in Falmouth, Cornwall - so I have lived by the beach without many responsibilities for 3 years and I prefer my life now).

Too many people are conned into believing this work hard play hard lifestyle is actually good.
You don't get much in return for working your life away at some agency. Working for yourself is a different matter.
It always makes me laugh when some people say they like working late.

everyone works their asses off for "someday", "someday" i'll retire, then i can really live life. just 15 more years, then i can live life. as soon as the kids move out i'll live life. as soon as i save enough money i'll live life.

figure out how to live now. you don't need to be sitting on piles of cash to be happy in life...
it's the present that matters

I quit my career and moved to the beach. I did it specifically because we were having kids not in spite of it. Moving to the beach is a great thing to do with kids.
