Greg and mike, the key the readers need to know here is PLANNING.
I committed the investment sin from 98 to 08 of invest and forget, 1100 a month from age 31 to 41. I now have 3k a month to "play with". I am still getting started and learning. I don't have much knowledge to contribute here and am taking in much more than I'm putting out....
Have a plan
Manage your debt, keep it at an absolute minimum.
I like the idea of being "homestead" in case sh$t really hit the fan, both in our market and the global market. Why do I feel this? Don't know, been in other countries where 90% of the populas has absolutely nothing. It's hard to watch as I look at my own belly. My wife and I are also fairly charitable ...
I would like to be out in 10 or so years, puts me at 55 ish.
No/ low overhead, just like you said greg....
