The highest earning year I had made from "wages" has been $35K. My past work experience is accounting, teaching and/or casino related. Most of my accumulated wealth has come from either a real estate transaction or gains from the stock market where I have made multiple 5 and 6 figure gains from in the past.

I have told the board before my stepping stone to my current situation was from the stock Iomega in the mid 90s which proceeded to rise from $2 to $330 in a 2 year period when the company introduced the zip drive.

I'd like to have a large enough nest egg that the interests/growth is self-sustaining, and can support a comfortable lifestyle -- by the time I'm 45. That gives me 19 years.

Thanks. I'm glad to see you're finally being recognized for your hopeless optimism.

And did you make sure to buy on the very large market dip the other day? I thought of you all day long...
