Oh and the filter is on the front side corner of the house and only about 25' from the cut-off at the street, so its not like its a huge inconvenience or time consuming.  

The idea would be to invest in some way that it doesn't turn into a time consuming job so you can hangout on the beach, play golf, go spelunking, or cow tipping...

What it tells me is you don't have a lot of consumer debt.  

It's not as time consuming as you make it seem so I would recommend holding out a bit.

I have been consuming all the information I can on the topic, but was hoping to get some real life examples of people who have done the same thing I am considering doing.What I want to do is roll my 401k, which from what I've heard/read will become an IRA after I leave the company, into a self-directed IRA.
