As we are all on myLot, I'm assuming everyone here is looking for alternate ways to make money. Ideally, when would you like to quit your day job for good!!

I want to retire early, like around 40. But realistically 50 would not be bad at all!

I want to retire by the time I am 40. I want to be young enough to travel or do whatever I decide to do with the money I make. Now I just need to find a way to make that money lol.

I retired two years ago so that I could spend time with my pets, work on the house, enjoy my hobbies and travel with my husband on his business trips. I thought I would have all this free time but I am busier now than when I worked! The one major difference is that now I get enough sleep. :) When I worked I got by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. Now I get at least 7 or 8 which is great because I am a nightowl and so always go to bed really late!
