I think autonomous cars are the future, anyone else ? And if so what are you investing in ? I'm in Nvidea and Autoliv.

My home is worth less than 10% of my net worth.

Many of us dream of where we'd go when we retire, what we'd do, winters in Florida, summers in New England but there are those who've committed their whole life to a career and they don't know what to do when it's over. It's sad to me, most of us in this forum want to retire early so we can...

Try this calculator, I like it because you figure in SS and a pension. Good job on your savings so far. Future Value/Annuity Calculation

Wow DawgMan, for a minute or so I thought you were describing me. Most people would think I've got it all and got it made, lol. One of my neighbors asked my other neighbor if I was a drug dealer, lol. I've got a stay at home wife who is very hard working but also very pampered with a nice car...

I have 76 notes and growing, I have one of them delinquent right now. I'm sure I'll have my fair share as most all the notes I invest in now are over 20% interest rate. Oddly enough the one have delinquent is at 13%.

Lots of good notes to fund on LC this morning, I funded four notes with an average interest rate of 26.5%, all had a credit score of 680 or better.

I watched an older gentleman give away everything he owned to these people, he sold everything he owned and gave them all the proceeds and no one could tell him anything, he died with in a year of that completely broke.

Yeah pretty much, no CNN, Fox, etc. I watch local news, unless they start talking politics.

Great poll, I'm at about 7-8% with a paid for home. Not being house poor sure makes it easy to stack those Benjamin's. 😎

Oh my gosh, I do wish the best, I sincerely hope day trading doesn't cost you everything. To me the highs weren't worth the lows, I made some good returns and lost even more..

I'd let her retire now, she has a full time job taking care of the home, my wife retired at 44, I never realized how much of a job being a wife is " especially a mom ". Anyway she wants out of the workforce and there's no reason with the funds you guys have that you can't do it, besides money...

Absolutely Music Lover, my dad retired on $30k a year 20 years ago when he was 48, he has never wanted for anything, his income is about $40k a year now. He has decent cars, travels quite a bit, spends two months in Florida every year. Does he have any debt, no, does he buy new cars, no, does he...

My grandparents for sure, they raised a dozen kids and dozens of grandkids on their 90 acre farm, they never made for than $12k a year, they grew 50-75% of what they ate, kept cars for decades, never borrowed money, saved every dime they could get their hands on and invested in CDs. I remember...

GTOs are one of my favorites, is that a ram air 3 or 4 car ?

Jealous of you guys and gals who are already FIRE, lol, seriously I'm proud for you. This weekend is like all the others, I enjoyed it tremendously, but I'm very sad to have to go to work tomorrow. My thoughts of leaving the workplace seem to be all I think of...

Yeah me too, lol. Then back to work I go....

I'm really enjoying my 3 day weekend as always, but it sure makes going back to work rough. As I get closer to FIRE, I get more anxious, I'm ready...

Twinkle Toes, if you nailed down your expenses and your future income " ss, withdraw rate, etc ", you could always do a trial run and see what the outcome is in say 6/12 months. Also with the income you have, another option would be going crazy on knocking out that mortgage, that would help...

Thanks for keeping the lights on Winemaker. I'm from the coal fields of Western Ky, where many of my friends and family work or have worked in the mines, unfortunately many of them have not prepared for layoffs and a end to mining.

I grew up my dad was a construction worker and farmer, my mom was a waitress, they divorced when I was young and both struggled financially. I've worked in the mining industry " briefly ", waiter, washed cars, mowed lawns, got in the service side of the automotive industry, found my calling, my...

well done GenXr.

Congrats, thinking very seriously about going part time myself. I've worked crazy hours forever, ready for some downtime.
