I plan on amassing all the funds I can, investing them, then live off the land. I'd like to walk from one coast to the other, or live in a national park, like bigfoot or something. Honestly. Live off the "grid", a long and quiet existence in the forest. Hollow out a tree to live in and forego material possessions. 10 years after my death i'd like to be discovered with the balance of my portfolio by a pack of cub scouts and become a legend.

i dont know about the rest of you, but im not going to go quietly, i want to make my own way in the world sure, but God will have to come down himself and tell me its time to go and then drag me away.
i hate having nothing to do, so i think i would likely end up like my grandfather and build a shop behind my house and work on things like cars and carpentry stuff and in general anything to keep my busy.
im lazy but i cant stand not having anything to do for too long....
unless i had a million bucks, then i would do absolutely nothing

no plans for retirement... everything and anything youd ever want to do should be done now..
not wait until old age...

I agree 100%. Do the things you want to do now!!!. Though I would like to retire @ 60. Sell off everything, buy one of those pimp million dollar RV's and just travel the country.

If I stay an employee of the state, I can reture at 48, and hopefully I'll still be in good health. I'll probably get a part-time job that I don't really care about, and expand my hobbies. I like fishing, scuba diving, and working on the car; so if I still enjoy these things in 30 years I'll still be doing them. I've always wanted an RV, just to do the occasional vacation. I don't really have any desire to travel the world, I've always felt that I'd like to see all of the US before trying my hand at exchange rates and screwing up a foreign language. I'd like to eventually invest in some land. We started off with a head start (house already paid for, government job at 18, parents at 19, etc.), so I hope that I can be smart about money and live comfortably.

Yeah, that's where I am. I'd love to open a customizing/restoration facility and enjoy the summer nights at my villa in Monaco.

Yep. I have to save money not for me but for my kids/grandkids since I'll die in a high speed accident of some sort

Retirement what's that?
I'll probably wind up like my grandfather and never really retire. Acutally I take that back I'm lazy enough to retire but God only knows what I'd do. Travel around, who knows? Depends on what the next 10 years do I suppose.
I could never do Phinsup's idea. I don't swim well and I WOULD get hit by the first suprise tropical storm/hurricane since radar was invented.
UniqueTII and I will probably loose it and open up an RX-7 shop then die in some huge explosion.
