I'm 39 and if I stay at my current job I will be eligible at age 49. I really do plan to try to retire then. I have some property in the Ozarks and I am in the process of building a road to it right now. My wife and I are going to build a cabin next to one of the waterfalls. I will post a link to some pictures below. We do lots of mountain biking and even trials riding here and on the adjacent National Forest. It will probably take me until retirement to finish this project but that's OK, I have time.

These are winter pictures, it's much nicer in the summer when the leaves are on.
