Comments on: The Greatest Secret of Billionaires, 95-Year-Old Attorneys and the Retirement Myth http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/the-greatest-secret-of-billionaires-95-year-old-attorneys-and-the-retirement-myth/ Mon, 21 May 2012 19:27:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Brent http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/the-greatest-secret-of-billionaires-95-year-old-attorneys-and-the-retirement-myth/#comment-76262 Brent Mon, 16 Apr 2012 01:18:17 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?p=2687#comment-76262 So true. I've disliked law since my first semester of law school, but kept at it, not wanting to be a "quitter." So foolish. I've been in it for 15 long years, and I still dislike going to work every day. I must escape from Alcatraz. The question for everyone is how. I, like many others, I'm sure, have financial commitments. In any case, thank you for your posts, including those on training the mind and even sometimes reprinting various works in that field. That's content I've found nowhere else, and it has helped a lot. Good karma for you. Thank you again. So true. I’ve disliked law since my first semester of law school, but kept at it, not wanting to be a “quitter.” So foolish.

My job,as a manager for law firms has been eliminated 3 times--the first firm went bankrupt, the second firm had a decrease in busines and the third firm was cutting expenses. My husband, a computer software engineer, went without work as a contractor for more than a year during this recent downturn. We have both been in the workforce for over 40 years and have no plans to retire. We are starting over when many of our cohorts are retiring or have been retired for several years!

That is rare. Although we all are drawn towards those that have similar philosophies to our own you have undoubtedly taken actions to influence others rather than just postulate . I believe your blog on why they still work is a similar take on the internal drive that differentiates. I hope you don't mind if I reference you and particularly your "Ferrari" blog on the personal blog I write (referenced above).
