IN Digestion

And actually wrote out everything (in EXCEL).

According to what I have calculated, if my business totally flops - (that would now mean I have wasted about one hundred and twenty-four thousand dollars all together in my ‘quest for retirement’), and nothing comes of it (highly highly unlikely, but now that its so close to end, too be honest, I just feel like not even bothering (I have lost the ‘drive’ to continue, but for the sake of the fact SO MUCH Money has been put into it, I feel almost like I have to go ahead and finish it). But just to be safe, I calculated based upon the outcome that nothing comes of it, no money is made, and no money is put into it.

According to my calculations, by June of next year (but ill be 26 years old), I can safely retire - of course, I would move back into my parents home - and live with them - its not that big of a deal - because I have enough space to move around, and I would not get my own place if I lived in the states anyway - I am an only child and want to spend the rest of my life living with my parents, or them living with me - but barring any crazy medical expenses (which I suppose would have to ‘bring me out of retirement’, but I have a plan for that as well, well not really - my busines is the only thing that I am counting on for ‘financial emergencies). But whats the point, lets say you save up 1 million dollars, and some crazy thing happens - your gonna blow it all anyway, so I just won’t take that into consideration).

So as of next year, if ‘everything goes as UNPLANNED’, I can still retire.

What this means, basically, since I was 17, I wanted to ‘Learn, Like REALLY Learn’ about Islam. Meaning doing it full time and not having to worry about food, shelter, and having it happen - and not having any responsibility towards anyone else, just so I can give at least one crazy fatwa in my life. (I already have the fatwa itself, but I can’t quite give it until I earn that right) (Before I got religous, I wanted to retire when I was seventeen and dedicate my life towards lounging around and drugs, then one day of course that all changed).

Now, that I am close to the beginning of that particular ‘vision’ - I have no real desire to necesseraily learn Islam either - (but I probably will still dabble into it, obviosuly if you have nothing else to do, you can get super bored really soon).

So what all of this means is that:

1. I will be able to wake up every day.
2. Eat a healthy & yummy breakfast
3. Take a HOT Shower
4. Put on a fresh pair of clothes
5. Sit around and decide what it is I want to do that day
6. Put some work into Islamic Network (when I wish to)
7. Pray 5 times a day
8. Have fun with family and friends
9. Go home (of the fun is happening at home, go to my area of the home).
10. Sleep
11. Eat some very good food
11. Do it again.

(Now even if the business is succesful, thats still pretty much the plan as I have two friends who will take over the day to day operations of the company) - the only thing that will change is my retirement will be in ’style’ - Ill probably buy a lot more things, etc. - but thats about it.

But sleep, responsibities, contracts, and all of that stuff - never again.

And I will also consider it some what of an Islamic Reitrement, because somehow or the other, readership and usage of Isalmic Network and its services, just keeps increasing. Meaning, by sitting here doing nothing, people listen to Quran, and I get the reward hopefully for it, WITHOUT lifting a finger.

Now the only thing I did not factor in my ‘worse case retirement’ scenario is having multiple wives. My retirement will only be able to support myself and Fatima. So the other three wives will have to waive their rights when I marry them.

Best case scenario for retirement, IF and IF, and IF, I can do 3 weeks worh of work ANYTIME in the next few weeks, or months - within 4 weeks after that I will know if I can retire so theoretically, I MIGHT be able to retire in 7 weeks.
