Hi all,
I'm Kathryn and stumbled across this forum when I was looking for info on comparing Fidelity to Vanguard. I read the thread on "how little can one retire on," so decided to sign up.
I sort of dropped out of the corporate rat race five years ago and moved to the Phoenix metro area. Since then I've been temping once in a while and also worked at a women's domestic violence shelter. I also volunteer one day a week. I've been thinking of a career change and getting into social services, which will never get me rich, I know.
Looking over some of the threads here and how much you all have, early retirement for me is probably not an option, but I'd sure like to find a way to live on what I have. The biggest sticking point is, of course, health insurance. I'm single with no children, but one has to have that health insurance. If it weren't for this, early retirement would certainly look much more feasible.
At any rate, I guess I'll just poke around and learn from you all here
Kathryn
