There's a reason it's called personal finance. I'm late to the gate if I want to retire early, so I really need to see how others are going about it.

I used to do quite a bit of very detailed retirement planning but the more I did, the more I realized I was wasting my time. I think having a fairly general plan and sticking to it is the way to go.

I think having a fairly general plan and sticking to it is the way to go.

It's from Milton's 1628 work "At a vacation exercise in the college". From the prose section of this work, I believe. I'd have to crack open my Milton book to be sure :) Regardless of the origin, it's a great quote.

I did a good amount of research and almost all of them were attributed to Rickey. He must have done a great job of marketing it as well.

Rickey smartly "borrowed" it (and it is often attributed to him) simply because it's a great quote :) “Luck is the residue of design” is a John Milton quote.

Unfortunately, I've been "too busy" to dig into it. He was trying to show me a way that he’s found to make money that he wants to share with me. Unfortunately, I’ve been “too busy” to dig into it.

I don't have a detailed plan yet because I'm in school now. I look forward to seeing yours. My plan is to semi-retire in 9 years when I turn 50.
