I began my Early retirement plans back in 2000 reading "Your money or your life" whilst backpacking in India, and only recently found this forum.
Since then I've saved ~55% of my income, paid off my Mortgage and am planning to retire next March.
Temptations of new job offers are threatening but experiences of my elder sister dying of cancer when she was my age and two of my closest friends having had cancer make me think life is just too short to work for "the man"
My numbers add up though support for ERE calcs with the differences we have in the UK make for some head scratching sometimes (No 401K's here but we do have ISA's and Pensions with tax relief on contributions)
So I'm ready to go all be it with the last minute nerves kicking in
