In order to retire, what is your magic number to walk away from your business? That is to say, how much do you need liquid in order to stop working and just enjoy life?

Honolulu
My close friend and business partner James Chen lives and works in Honolulu. During all this time (2 years +) I have never come to visit him. We use email, skype, gizmo, or texting to stay in contact. During this period of time, I felt that those means were effective. Now being with James for a couple days and getting to bounce ideas off each other, and just talk about non-business stuff I see the value in face-to-face interaction again. When you have the synergies of everyone in one room it only helps to spur on debate and thus create great ideas.
Not sure how it will work, but I think James and I need to make it a point to meet twice a year - one time in Hawaii and the other time in San Francisco.
I am curious to know what other business partners think about face-to-face interaction vs. using technology to keep in touch?

The good part of owning your own business
Friends often ask me a lot if I like being a business owner. Sometimes, my answer is Absolutely. Sometimes it is Not Really. And sometimes I sit back and thank my lucky stars that I don't have a boss to report to. This picture sums it up....
