Set Your Quitting Date

I apologize to anyone following my blog for my lack of recent posts. I am not going to make excuses except to say that I have been working on the concept for my website and trying to figure out how to organize it. Its a bit more complex than blogging, because if you want any traffic you have to rank high in the search engines, so you have to learn about SEO (search engine optimization).

Anyway....I have set my quitting date for my job. I decided that by setting a firm date, it will push me harder to get the things done that I need to do to accomplish it. So...drumroll please.....my Quittin' date is.......June 10, 2010. Why 06/10/10? For a number of reasons, but mainly, I will have a ten year service retirement at my job, so I'll have a little retirment money coming in when I am 62. Also, I think it will take me another two years or so to get my financial house in order. If I can make it happen sooner, so much the better, but setting a date roughly two years in the future kind of makes me relax a bit (even tho' I hate my job) and plan accordingly. So my challenge to you all is to find out a plan that will make you financially free, figure out how long it will take, then set a date and keep it in your mind. Focus on it every day, and do something every day that will help you achieve that goal.
