Jerry1

    Bio: Lived and worked in Michigan my entire life/career. Early on I had a co-worker friend retire at 55 and realized I could do the same and that became a focus. Ended up retiring at 58. Enjoying my free time, golfing, family and grand children. Working on making the most of my retirement life and am focused on traveling, starting with places in the U.S. and also working on how to incorporate snowbirding into my future.

MBAustin

    Bio: After 31 years of IT management in two Megacorps, MBAustin ER'd in 2010 and now has no idea how she had time to w*rk. When she and her DH aren't traveling in their RV, she is a professional volunteer - serving with the local United Way, various church-related committees, and now here with the nice people at E-R.org. She enjoys choral singing, knitting, and photography.

rodi

    Bio: rodi spent a few decades working in the cable television industry. She loved the fact she got paid to watch tv... until they limited the channels to kiddy channels and sports channels. She married late, had kids late, but retired early! (She got the important part right.) Now she spends her retirement coaching robotics, learning Italian, and reading the books she never had time to read before. rodi is not a rodesian wolf, despite what her husband says.

sengsational

    Bio: sengsational is an engineer by degree, but being a software engineer paid the bills (and built the nest egg - retired at 54 (the year I turned 55 - no penalty 401k access!)). Got two kids through college and now trying to figure out what's next. Not super serious about any particular thing in life except family, but now that the kids are so capable, I've had extra time. I've tried some adventurous and not so adventurous travel, self-taught musician and perform several times a week (without an audience of course, nobody would sit still for my yodeling).

simple girl

    Bio: In my late 20's I read "Your Money or Your Life", which inspired us to dream big and set a path to FIRE. We decided Mr. Simple Girl would stay FT at his job and I would change to part-time, allowing me to focus on our finances and manage our life. I joined this forum which was instrumental to achieving FIRE in our early 50's. Living small allowed us to invest significantly over the years - we have never regretted it. My screen name "simple girl" represents the fact that I don't need material things to be happy - just health and the time to enjoy life with those that I love.

Walt34

    Bio: After retirement bailed to West Virginia and found that being a lazy lout catches on quickly. He likes technology, especially photography, new tools, airplanes, motorcycles, boats, and anything else that goes fast. On a few occasions I post videos taken from an R/C airplane on youtube. I don't make any money or anything off it but some find it interesting: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCixVR3_lw-fVP0oE2O3SW1Q
