Many personal finance bloggers are hoping to retire young, or at least, to make some extra money through wise financial decisions. So, what would your plans be if you retired at 40 instead of at 67?

I imagine that I would still like to have some kind of productive work to do, whether it was running a small business, or being a mother. (Kids are far in my future, so I don’t know how I feel about the idea of being a stay-at-home mom 24 hours a day.)

Regardless of whether it would make money, what would be your dream job?

For example: I like to knit in my spare time, but if I did it as a job I think that it would quickly lose all elements of enjoyment.

I think if it was fiscally possible, my dream would be to open a giant dog rehabilitation facility like Cesar Millan has in California. Hanging out with dogs all day seems like something I could do for the rest of my life….

So, what would you do if you could do anything? Travel? Start a business? Spend more time with your kids?
