You've got to find what you love to do, make it a career. Then start your Early Working Retirement!

If you dread going to work everyday or if you still haven't found the job you love, then you should stop reading now.  This article is about the benefits of declaring an Early Working Retirement.  It is about enjoying the time that we have, rather than planning for a future that may or may not be.

I am a teacher.  I get to go to work everyday and teach people how to get more out of the investment they made in a new computer.  For me, it is a dream job.  If they will let me, I'll do this for the rest of my life.  That is how I knew this would be a successful Early Working Retirement.  I know that I'm never going to be able to stop working and still pay the bills. I have spent the past 28 years working toward my retirement, but I have failed.  My inner pragmatist is telling me that in 20 years when I'm 67, that I still won't have that pile of money to 'retire' on.  So by declaring an Early Working Retirement, I am facing the reality that I'll be working in some way, to generate income so that I can pay the bills and get by.  I plan to work for the rest of my life!  

Join me in declaring your Early Working Retirement!  Life is great, right here, right now!  Retirement is really a mental state.  During retirement, we are supposed to really enjoy our life... so why not start now!  I haven't stopped achieving my goals, but I've found a way to really enjoy the process.  I hope that I'll be around 20 years from now, but for the time being, my goals are to enjoy the company of my mom and dad, my brother, my wife, my son and my friends.  At this point, I'd be surprised if twenty years from now I'll have a pile of money.  And I'm okay with that!
