Hi everyone. I am newly "semi-retired", but I'm not rich. My family and I have always lived below our means. That helped us attain a debt-free life in a low cost of living area (Virginia).
I'm not here to brag - in fact I don't have anything to brag about really. I'm an average guy that pays his bills and taxes, but likes to keep them both low.
I'm interested in personal happiness and how others achieve it. I'm interested in talking with other like-minded people (or non like-minded constructive criticism).
Do you enjoy frugality and avoiding typical American consumerism? However, you get great joy seeing how your boys enjoy their back-to-school gifts (new bicycles)? I don't mind spending money but I hate to waste money. We probably have a lot in common.
Thanks,
Chris
