Hi I'm beedoggy, new to your forums, fellow traveler in LBYM. Love how many younger people are here, picking up ideas on how to be FI and starting right. It will be interesting to see how the current economy influences kids coming up now... Will they be more like the kids (in terms of saving/spending) who lived through the depression or something totally different?
I'm hopefully 10-15 years from retirement, and 4 years away from sending the first one to college, with the second one starting in 2020. We're a single income family in the Midwest who stayed happily middle class as our income grew, knowing if things went south on us, we could hang onto what we had. It probably helped that we struggled for many years, so we know the difference between too little and enough. We've been lucky in every way.
I'm looking forward to learning from all of you!
