Hi all.
I wanted to into myself. I've been lurking for about a year now and joined last month or so. Two years ago, I was tired of being sick and tired and decided to do something about my Personal Finance. My DW and I, 36 and 35 respectively, needed help we were in heavy debt after having Premature twins. They are healthy now and giving me premature gray hairs, they are soon to be 6 years-old.
We were $82k in debt and in just at two years in Feb we well be debt free besides our mortgage. No car payments, credit cards, student loans etc.
We did the debt Snowball, Dave Ramsey plan... Modified. During this time we invested in our 401k, I could not pass up that match. DW has a 457 plan.
I moved our investments around and stoppled playing with Scott trade for my Roth and got a Pro doing that for me.
We went from about 30k in retirement at the beginning of this and now we are about 106k in tax preferred accounts. Not as large as some others on this forum but I plan on retiring at 55 or sooner. The plan is to have about 2.5 mil at that time. This does not include my DWs pension.
