I've been reading everything I can on RE since I stumbled on the Retire Early Home Page a week ago....
I see others who posted as young... and I think I might be the baby... I just turned 24. I downloaded the calculators and it looks like I can retire in 10-11 years, if I continue to invest 37.8% of our income... shouldn't be a problem, fiancee follows all my money "rules."
I'm so excited, I ran out and got all the books everyone mentioned (at the library of course!)
I just wanted to say hi and I'm ready to learn anything and everything about RE from all of you!
What we are doing now if you have any advice:
Max out my 401k each year
Max out Fiance's 403b each year
Max out Fiance's 457 plan each year
Max out both of our Roth's each year
Contribute additional to my investment club for fun
Funding two 529's for possible future children....
We also spend about 2500/mo on mortgage and school loans all between 3-4.125%
This leaves us with plenty of money for expenses. I've considered saving more... but not sure I want to.
Look forward to all your insight!

PS The wedding is in Sept. but my parents are paying for it, so we should be okay there.
