2008 is my 2nd full year of ER - Single, No debt (except for 906 in interest free furniture loan)
29,258 Total Spent
Unusual Items:
1,400 2 New computers - desktop and Asus eee
700 Truck tires
450 Dr. bills
906 Interest Free loan
25,802 Adjusted Spend
I'm estimating my 2009 budget at $30K
I think I need to step up my traveling and spend more.
So you young dreamers - it might not take as much to ER and you think. My estimate while working was $40K/yr growing at 4%/year plus 5K/yr in amortized items.
I break down my budget into:
Basic - estimate if I just stayed home the whole year
Incremental - travel and fun
In the Basic estimate there is about $600/month that could be added to the incremental budget for when I travel. So when I'm Rving, I have the incremental budget plus $600/month extra. If I were to travel for the whole year I would have the $9K in incremental plus $7.2K available in the Basic budget.
