Thank you all for your feedback. Last week, I have reflected what all of you have said this is the plan I have come up with so far:
1. I will start anew and travel to China, where the dollar can stretch 5+ times more. By '09 I should be able to save up $70-$100k in capital from the last two years of working.
2. Expand business and hire young, smart, employees who know how to have fun. Three reasons to take this route:
a. I can create a culture and fun social life from work
b. Expand the business by taking on more projects
c. Limit work to 9-to-5 and not the whole day
3. Hire a personal assistant to plan my day and fill my weekends (and some weeknights) with engaging events (business mixers, art shows, charity events, etc)
4. Hire a personal chef to prepare me healthy food and a personal trainer to keep me fit. I'll also meet with a mandarin teacher to further my language training. My PA will be responsible for fitting them well into my schedule
5. From time to time, invite my friends to visit China where we'll further explore the city
Feedback is welcomed.
