Hello! I've just discovered this site and thought that these are my type of people! I'm looking forward to financial independence and early retirement and have been for some years now. I'm 24, DH is almost 28. Combined we make $200k a year. We currently have a combined networth of -$1500 or so due to a car loan, student loans (very favorable interest rate) and a brand new mortgage. We have a combined $16,700 in retirement with about 15% in bonds, the rest in diversified stocks. We don't contribute enough yet as we're just getting over our new mortgage payments, but the amounts will go up very soon.
We would like to retire early (45-50) and I think it's doable. At that time, DH would like to go back to school and we would like to travel.
Any suggestions for making this dream come true?
