Living the Good Life on $24,000 a Year? Retire in Your 20’s or 30’s?

[Alpha]

I would prefer to have a job that adds meaning to my life.  My job benefits my community and the larger world.  The plan, as it was outlined, seems to put you in a position where you're essentially doing nothing all day, every day.  It doesn't actually allow you to do anything you want, it simply removes employment from your life.  I actually like my job.  I like my co-workers and I believe in what we're doing.  I think I'll stay put.
