OMG! If I earned $300,000 a year then I could probably afford to retire by age 46, if I saved most of it and didn't buy a house that costs too much. Honestly, I'd love to be making that right now, because I'd still live like I were making my current salary so that the other 259,000 could go into high-interest money market accounts, a diverse portfolio of investments (stocks, hedge funds and bonds), CDs and of course a good old savings account. That would be freakin' sweet!

I'd also give more to charity, and maybe even start a philanthropic foundation that specializes in helping people who are going through similar things that I had to overcome.

Man, that plan sounds so sweet that I feel something brewing in my heart that's driving me to find out how to make it a reality. Whooooo, that would be an awesome blessing.
