• December 19, 2006, on Early Retirement:

  Phil, this is a great article and one that hits the heart. I left a certain famous search company after 5 years of employment with a lot of wealth and haven't been working since. I think there needs to be more written on this subject of 'now what?!' and basically support for some of us young (im 36) retirees who have lost a bit of ambition and direction after leaving the rat race. Anyway, after reading your article, i dont feel as guilty anymore splurging on a thing or two (namely justifying buying another car), but more importanly to focus on new things and not lose confidence that you'll have the motivation to be working hard again one day. I also never knew that being wealthy has its stigmas...ie alienation from certain friends and certain family, etc. You really have to be creative in this situation. Keep the ideas and updates on this subject coming...
