re: Early Retirement

I think about it daily. And I'm only 41 and still a long way to go. I've been working for the same company since 1997. The wife and I do pretty well, great for Mississippi standards. The house should be paid off in 8yrs, however we have a soon to be 7yr old and 5yr old. I just don't see myself making it until the kids graduate from college. But the wife is 5yrs younger than me, makes about the same as I do and has a much higher income potential than I'll ever have. I can see me hanging it up in my mid 50's.
