    Money wouldn't be a huge consideration for my goals. I want to fully retire instead of semi retired and move further south where the weather is not quite as cold as Wisconsin but not quite as hot as Florida, TX or AZ. My other goal is to meet someone and fall in love again, well thats more of desire really, not a goal,

    How much do you need to fully retire? Having dreams and goals always has a price. I believe (opinion of mine, nothing else) that what we aim for has to be broken down into smaller pieces. Our financial status is part and parcel of all our dreams, goals and plans for the future. We may dream of having enough money to live on, but how much is enough?

    I actually could fully retire right now if I chose to. I have enough to live on comfortably. I just semi-retired a year ago instead of full because I wanted to be sure I could do okay on my income. Right now I am actually taking home more money with my parttime job in the mix. I will not be a rich woman by any means but then I never have been.

    My goals? Well to be honest, money has nothing whatsoever to do with my goals. My goals are to have my health improve, to see my family well and happy and to be able to do the things that make me happy and fulfilled. Can't see anything to do with money in that.

    Great question by the way 2011A!

    10 year planning is a large part of what I teach and you are right it is easy for some, but extremely hard for many.

    For me it isn't "what sum of money would make you believe in your goals...."

    it is "What sum of money is my goal". I try to explain to my students that when setting their financial 10 year goal, they have to be truthful with themselves, to be greedy. This they find hard. So I set it for them at £1 million. I then explain that although this may seem out of their reach now, it isn't so bad when you break it down into a daily amount of £274.00 per day.

    I also explain that even if they don't reach that £1 million goal in 10 years time, they will certainly be at least half way towards it. Half way more than they would have been if they had no goal.

    Sounds so much easier to achieve.

    I can feel your pain there. It's tough, no matter where you live, to not have income.

    $0. I'm already doing that, but I have sufficient funds. I mean— ahm, are you offering? I would need $100,000,000, thank you.

    Enough to turn any large, unused building into a protestant monastery/mission for the homeless and those wiothout family. Along with enough to give it a good head-start to self-sufficiency.

    I already chased some of my dreams and while the initial cost weren't great and were in many ways intangible ....the long term costs have been greater than one could imagine. (And yet probably ...still worthwhile.)

    Theres is no 'sum' of money that would make you believe in anything. What would make me chase my dreams is if I know they are definitely attainable.

    It wouldn't take that much - maybe $100,000 - for me to see my goals through.
    To chase my dreams? Maybe $10 million.
