If you enjoy your work though, I see no reason not to continue...my grandpa's worth around that much, and he still works, and he's 76! If you love your work, might as well continue with it.

Thanks, Moose. With my projected income from investments and properties I could realize a yearly income of well over $100,000 without lifting a finger. Your point about enjoying my work (self employed) is definetly something to consider.
As an addition to my previous post, I find myself judged by most who know me because I have financial freedom. This is why I posted this, because I feel that those on this forum have not judged, perhaps because of lack of knowledge. I am a single father and find it very difficult to find a woman who will accept me for me, instead of me for the money. It seems things change as soon as they find out. Forgive me, if I rant. I'm in a bit of a different place right now.
