Without a determined goal, I was never going to be able to get where I wanted to go, because even I didn't know where exactly that was. Additionally, before I found this experiment I truly had no idea what kind of money was needed to live what kind of lifestyle, except the one I'm currently living. This first step was huge.

This is kinda like climbing the tallest mountain I've ever seen. I'm all packed and committed to make the trip but the closer I get to it the taller it looks. If I pay attention to where I'm walking it's doable. I’m glad “you” guys are seeing things more clearly. This is kinda like climbing the tallest mountain I’ve ever seen.

Interesting stuff. I know I originally underestimated my number significantly because I really don't want to live this rich lifestyle - I just want time, free from worries, and the ability to travel and make purchases without considering a budget, and the money to fund my kids' college. I thought I could do all of that on less :-) I was wrong...I also adjusted my time frame as well - shortened it. AND, I specified that my number and time frame is not a stopping point - just my initial goal for this project. Funny how much changed from when I first submitted my application. Everything is much clearer ;-) Wow! Interesting stuff.

I did notice something. Josh and I (Jason) were both the two highest by far, and both of us reduced our amount by $10million. We were also both the ONLY people to reduce our number. He still ended up with the highest number and I was tied for 3rd. For me, the reason I reduced my number was because of the blog you wrote about what a budget of $500,000 a year would buy you and for me that was more than enough, I would want to give back to the world before I lived that lavishly, and I removed charity activities from my number because that is not "My" number but that it the number of my legacy, and that is different.
