Dang, Rusty, you read more than I do. Found Ferriss' book intriguing (although too many shortcuts and loopholes in his modus operandi to fit my biz). Love his mini-retirement idea, though, and am trying to incorportate that. He is an influence that led me back to FT actually. As a person with zero paid vacation, I've decided that if I don't have time to travel the way I'd like to, I'll just travel the way I can. Shoot, lots of you do RTWs in two weeks. Doesn't seem at all odd anymore.
