I just turned the big 6-0 last month and have been lurking for quite a while. Actually, my bride looks at it daily and that's how I became acquainted. My life can be summed up in a Jimmy Buffet verse: "Made enough money to buy Miami but I...", well, you know the words. Became a hater of debt two years ago and shed a whole bunch of it, and woke up one morning realising I just might be able to retire before I am 102. My work colleagues are concerned that I am "lightening up" a lot, and my 87 year old mother (who still has a full time job by choice) is agast that I am even considering ER. All that hippie influence in the 60's don't you know.
I am looking forward to participating and learning from you guys and gals. It seems to me that the ER philosphy is as much as what is really important in a retirement lifestyle as it is to accumulating wealth.
I will pull the trigger the moment this house is paid off, hopefully in less than three years.
