Wolfie, if I could have 5-7 more years like what I have had, I could retire close to what I would like. I've got a couple hanging out there that could let me do it sooner.
I'll let you in on a little confidential news....all I really want is to make my money and then GTFO. That's it. Don't need to see myself on TV or in the newspapers. Don't need to have the unabashed adoration of my clients and my peers. Don't need to dazzle the law books with my incredible legal acumen. All I want is to complete my retirement plans and take my extremely beautiful bride and GTFO (be it to a big ranch in Oklahoma, a casita in Santa Fe, a place in the Rockies, or over to Europe).
If you really had an idea of exactly how big my practice is, you'd understand why I am about half crazy.
I gotta give it up to you, you got good taste...
