This is an important question and one we should expand upon in a new thread at some point.

Thanks for posting Peter.

Death Of An Employee - Posted by Ryan(NC)

Posted by Ryan(NC) on December 07, 2005 at 20:14:13:

More emotions are pouring through my body than should be humanly possible but after serving a very long 2-week notice, talks about promotion, and repeated attempts by my ex-employer to explain the benefits of my JOB… I said farewell to my friends at work today and took the leap off the cliff into the world of the gainfully unemployed at the ripe old age of 28.

Thanks again for everything folks, I don?t think I can really call this retirement yet but there is no way this would have been possible without help from the many great people that post here and a skinny little $30 book that has changed our lives! We are half way to our goal, now we just have to get Jen outa her JOB so that we can get busy enjoying life instead of chasing a paycheck!

Best wishes,
Ryan Needler

Ah, the Magical Lure of Independence - Posted by PeteH(NYS)

Ryan, your story about what a bonehead your boss was and how aghast he was when you called his “better work harder or you’re outta here” bluff was absolutely priceless. It is impossible to overstate the satisfactions available from “f*%k you money,” which means sufficient (semi-)passive residual income. Hearty congratulations.

Ryan - nice work. I’ve seen some of your posts but like other investors on this site, I don’t know your history in your rise to financial independance. How about a brief synapsis on how you got to this point. Traditional Lonnie deals or land/home deals? How many years have you been investing? How many deals? etc. What industry where you in previously? Any insight would be interesting.

Ryan,
This is terrific. Congratulations.
I hope my next visit to NC will be JOBless as well.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Does it feel like what Karl Said. Wake up in cold sweat sitting straight up in bed, thinking Oh what have i done??

Ryan,
Congratulations. I hope Jen is not far behind.

I’ve not emailed to say “Thanks for the ride to the airport.” It was much appreciated.

Very cool to be in a position to let the JOB go. My hunch is reading your post is the crowning for folks like Lonnie, Tony, and Scott.

Keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to beat it into my head that rentals aren?t bad things!

Jen?s made it perfectly clear that I?m not going to get to sleep in til she?s free from her job and we can sleep in together. (IF I can ever convince her that 6:00am isn?t sleeping in)

Best Wishes,
Ryan Needler
