Yup. I'm mulling the idea of either trying to FIRE asap, or having both my wife and I ride out till we are 48. If we did that we would both collect a very good pension, plus we'd have a sizable next egg with all our 403 and 457 contributions. If we decide to ride it out till that point, it would be very feasible for us to purchase a property or two in different parts of the world to act as a base for us to travel from and just enjoy life abroad. Even though it would be 17-20 years away and the world will have changed a ton by then, it's just fun to play around and think about with what our options could be available to us down the road. The problem is that I've gotten spoiled by the awesomeness of Zillow, so it's just not as much fun to search for foreign properties:)
