[Samantha Atkins]

I am working on learning to be an "I", an investor rather than an  
employee.  It fits my nature somewhat better than being a "B".   I  
don't know yet whether my investing is dependably good enough to live  
on while increasing principal.  A few good months make it possible  
that I am closer than I previously dreamed.  But it is too soon to  
say. I may have a bit more working as a consultant to do while I get  
my investment strategies and skills more honed.  Once money, at least  
enough to live comfortably on, is not a time-consuming issue I get to  
do exactly what I most want to with my time.  I am still working on  
figuring out precisely what that is.   It is a different perspective  
when the excuse of being limited by the "job" falls away.

If that counts as retiring then I fervently hope that everyone I know  
gets to "retire" very soon.  I only wish that I was more aware of the  
importance of such "retirement" much earlier and had learned more  
about investing than simply gambling on luck, intuition, a good  
economy and a reasonable general idea or two.   Financial  
independence may be more obtainable than you think.
