Is this the place?

[ER Man]

I couldn't find a poll of this specific topic, but my gut feeling is mid to late 50s.

Lets run a poll on this?

 

[ER Man]

What about 19 and under in that poll?

Here's one from 2007. Maybe it is time for another. http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f28/poll-how-old-ar-you-26148.html

When I was working, I always thought employee compensation should be public among the employees. Some small companies have tried to do this. It would make things more fun.

If you are one of the top stock share holders and the company is public then anyone can see it.

Whoever came up with the poll probably didn't think that a lot of teenagers had retirement on their mind.

But, if you wish, you can start you own poll.

 

[ER Man]

Probably not but I am sure you might get a few teens into it.

As suggested, feel free to do a new poll and include ages 0 to 120. It has been four years since the last one.

Welcome, ER Man. I think I'm a bit of a whippersnapper (39) and I mostly lurk, deferring to the more "experienced" members.

This board is probably the greatest resource on the planet for those of us who don't want to work a single day longer than we have to.

 

[ER Man]

Its the best because of the members here? Seems like its very organized with an attractive GUI.

Don't attempt to judge the forum by the posts you read. Although only the mods know for sure, I estimate there are ~80 times as many lurkers as posters! I sometimes check out the "handles" of the "last 10 people to visit my profile," and they usually have 0 posts and next to nothing posted about themselves.

Well, I love what I do for a living for still would like to retire early.

You don't need to be a mod, simply click on the "Portal" link above, then scroll down the page to the list of folks on line. At the moment, I see a total of 480: 86 members and 394 [-]guests[/-] lurkers.

 

[ER Man]

How many total do we have? What was the inception date?

The total number of members is currently 13,833 (from the drop-down "Community" link above). Who knows how many lurkers - probably well over 50,000.

As to the inception date, here's some info: http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f32/the-history-of-early-retirement-org-53657.html

I would guess a lot of us are now 4 years older.

REWahoo:
I just spent several hours reading the history thread with side trips to MMND, Bull Sperm, and the Jennifer Affair.

Very entertaining! Thanks!

 

[REWahoo]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Anyone retired in their 30's?

 

[FIREd]

Anyone retired in their 30's?

There are a few of us on the board.

Yes, many (not all ) have gotten older...

 

[ER Man]

Do we have get-togethers?

 

[obgyn65]

Yes - it is my understanding there have been a few meetings in the past among people participating in discussions on this website. You may find some references to these get-togethers if you google the word "meeting" in the "search" button above.
