Why you should persue semi-retirement?

Do you ever feel like your days drag on forever at work? You don't get any fulfillment out of work and the work you do? Or do you feel scared about what the economy holds ahead for you and your job? Is your job secure? These are a lot of the questions that I feel like I have answered in my life and want to get out of the drag of daily life.

I recently came upon this website through a friend called "The art of nonconformity" by Chris Guillebeau. I can total relate to a lot of the things he writes about and the reasons that he writes. Its seems like a lot of other people in the country are struggling with the same questions in their own lives and asking themselves - "Do all real jobs suck?" For myself it pushes me more to consider the possibility of semi-retirement and how I can get there, so I can get out of the daily grind of life. Can any of you relate to this video?
