Thanks Brandon. I really enjoy these interviews, in fact I think I’m going to try to actively schedule more, I’ve got some more ideas for them, too. If you can recommend a blogger that would make an interesting interview, let me know, pass their name along or reach me on Twitter (not that I’m out of ideas myself, of course!:) There are tons of successful bloggers out there.

@tom – I agree, I can’t imagine “retiring” – I don’t want to wait so long to receive its benefits, but I also don’t ever want to stop feeling like I’m engaged and contributing. I know you can do volunteer work etc. and this works for some people; then again hopefully by that time I’m fully financially free anyway.

@Matt – glad you liked it. I’m kind of envious of Baker’s going to Australia! I think it’s right on track though. Plus you can still blog while you’re away. Location-independence, that’s the new buzzword:) (which I’ve thought long about doing for years!)

I really enjoyed reading through this interview! I always like to see how other people think and what they believe.

Best of luck to ManVsDebt in his new blogging endeavor!

Great interview.

I personally struggle with having content written ahead, that is why my posts haven’t been as consistent as before but I think it is a matter of prioritizing.

I also agree Baker that there is no such thing as retirement, we should all be striving for financial independence, because if you just stop working, then you will get bored very easily.

It is unfortunate that many people don’t seem to understand this new change.
