It's always been my goal. Well, I've tried various ways to get there that haven't worked, but I haven't given up, even at 53.

I'm a little surprised too at how much pushback you're getting on this. Isn't financial independence part of the point of all this entrepreneurship we talk about around here?

Yes, in fact, there are. There are any number of things that are more important/fulfilling/interesting to fill your head with and make life decisions based on.
