Five years ago today was my last day of voluntary slavery. While the stock market has not been friendly to my portfolio over the last several years, the freedom has been sweet.

Happy Anniversary! I love seeing evidence that retired folks are happy - not that the evidence is difficult to find.

Hey, we have something in common!
Six months ago, today, was my last day of voluntary slavery. While the stock market has not been friendly to my portfolio over the last several months, the freedom has been sweet.
Congrats! And I look forward to hitting your milestone in 4 1/2 years from now.

OP-Would very much like to hear your Top 10 lessons/discoveries/whatever from your first 5 years.

Would you share the value of your portfolio as a percentage of its value on retirement? Thanks.
We are 3+ years into ER & our portfolio is almost 8% below its value on our start date of 5/1/08. A few months ago, it was about 5% above!
