I enjoy my job, but I don't want to work here for the rest of my life. I'd like to retire someday, and when I do I want to be able to enjoy myself and stay busy, like you said.

Well, Godspeed. But I should caution you, nothing ever goes as planned...
You may get married, have a family, put kids through college. And, I will say this...my Grandparents have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up in the bank, plus they own an apartment that is worth at least another 600,000. But, even in their old age, they are very conservative with their money. It's almost sad to watch them...they could retire to a sweet home in a warm place, but instead they are going to leave quite a bit of wealth behind. Moral of the story; I would hate to die with hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. I would like to help my family out, but I'm going to be a self-centered bastard and spend some of that money on myself!
