I stopped putting money into IRA's and my 401K a lot of years ago and now buy property with water rights....not sure how that will work out, but at least I've got something. If this career doesn't get back to what it was in the next 10 years, I'll be leaving at 45...if it does get back then I'll stay until I can make more farming or I get tired of flying.
