		<description><![CDATA[I started this blog in the last quarter of 2008 for a couple reasons.  One of them was to act as a record of progress toward our geographic independence goal, so it seems appropriate to post a summary of how we've progressed in 2008 and what some of our goals for 2009 are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I wrote about my wife's and my thoughts regarding factors to consider when picking a brokerage to use for investing the initial funds we'll dedicate to achieving our geographic independence goal.  I ended the last post about those factors with a promise to write about the result of our research and the decision we've made.   Well, we've made that decision, as well as a bit of a plan for moving money around, and I want to write it all down so we don't get confused about what we've agreed to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the saying goes, "what gets measured, gets done" and our goal for geographic independence is not likely to be an exception.  As a result, we've put some effort into figuring how to consistently measure our passive income so that we can track progress toward our goal.  We want to start with some sort of monthly measurement at this early point in our goal, even though the income will likely not roll-in as equal, monthly payments.   Here is a summary of our thought processes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I spent some time over the past holiday weekend coming up with the numbers that define our geographic independence goal.  We tried to approach this from multiple different directions.  What do we need?   What do we think we can achieve?   When you figure out what it takes to get there, does it seem at all feasible?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As indicated by the title of this blog, its opening post, and hopefully a bunch of other content, my wife and I have established a mid-term financial goal of achieving geographic independence.  But we really haven't created a credible plan to achieve it yet.  It's time to start documenting some of what I've been thinking in regards to what that plan is, or ought to be.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a number of discussions with my wife, we've agreed that we are setting our long-term financial goal as the achievement of "Geographic Independence".  We define this as having the ability to go wherever we want, whenever we want, in a comfortable manner, without running into financial problems. ]]></description>
