What's Your Number?

i am recalibrating my life to plan for living for at least another 70 years ..and with the research in anti aging and life extension maybe another 100-200 years ..baring a traumatic event . so there is no making it point for me ..as in the last three years of being un employed ..and dealing with the damage the work i used to do did too my mind and body ..and having a taste of retirement and seeing what my parents have gone through .

i don't have a certain number at this point because the numbers change .. right now it is enough to get me where i can live the way i want to live. and grow and eat healthy food to heal my body .while making enough doing the kind of writing i want to do( i have a very good editor ) to just be able to keep writing and publishing . while that is what i want to do .

and then have enough money to be able to afford life extension therapies as they become available in 10-20 years . so i stay on the young and healthy side and able to do the productive work .

so my first make it points are actually on the silly low side because it really is not that expensive for me to live near or on a beach in a tropical country . on land that has fruit trees and space to set up a green house to grow fresh produce all the time ..and from there devote time to refining my writing style . truthfully under 1,000 a month .

then from there i have progressivly larger goals to achieve depending on the real opportunities that arise .

you know it is good to be secure ways than just money today . your ability to pick up and move anywhere and thrive .will prove more important than piling up cash ..

focusing on cash is fine if your fine with the government taking 7 dollars out of every 10 you make . open the prospects up to the many ways to get what you want besides earning money .

or better yet how to make money doing what you want ..

i believe that is a good making it point . If you are always able to do work you want to do and make plenty of money doing it .

i don't know i think some guy named warren buffet mention being able to dance to work

A completely passive 3000€ per month. Forever perpetual without any need of effort.

I wouldn't stop there, but that number would give the peace of mind to concentrate more on my material without the need of quickly pushing through to make a buck.
