quit now and get a job at starbucks



People always laugh at me when I tell them this, but I've always said this is how I plan to retire.

Read this inspirational story about a guy who lost his job in advertising, and then took a job at Starbucks. And loved it. And now, that's what he does. And he lives happily and stress free. (Although honestly, if you're going to 'drop out,' I can think of cooler places than Westchester NY. Huntington Beach, CA comes to mind.)

There's a great New York Times story, a book, and now Tom Hanks has even bought the rights to a movie. And the dude just wants to get back to his job at Starbucks. Nice. (photo from NY Times)
