I'm 22...and I think I'm just about done. You know, the rat race, it can take a lot out of you. The daily grind. The constant keeping up with the Jones'es...man, it's exhausting!
So, I've decided to retire early and let the rest of humanity gain all the material wealth they need. As for me, as soon as I get the following things, I'll be done..
1) A farm
2) An airplane.
3) A farm (in africa).
Yup, that's pretty much it.
I plan to spend my days travelling, indulging in a certain magical substance, researching, maybe pursuing a Ph.D very, very slowly. Might write a few books as well. I'm sure having children will also take a lot out of me...but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Plan working a long time before you can get what you want and indulging in a certain magical substance will likely interfere with achieving your goals.
So you've been working for 40 years and are 22? Cool, it isn't everyday you meet someone who started working around the time his mother was born. That's what I call planning ahead!

I bought a farm @ age 28... That is not part of a sustainable 'retirement' plan, but you won't have to wonder what to do tomorrow, or the next day / yr / decade...
2 farms... I know several Canadians who farm in Northern and Southern hemispheres. That will not make you any younger, good idea to start at age 22 !
Are you related to Wade Davis, the author/ethnobotanist who researched zombies and other "magic powders?"
