This is all super helpful! I'm really interested in the home server idea, but would also be completely open to using a normal service like Backblaze. I'm currently spending less than $1/month for this little insurance policy. How are you getting less than $1/month? I don't see any kind of way to get...

Hey folks, I have a lot of digital files related to my business, music, wife's business. I've been using an inconsistent combination of iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox for awhile now and am looking to bring those costs down to zero or as close to it as possible. What have y'all found useful for this s...

Great news, Veronica. Glad to hear you got a god job offer! I love my job but I'd jump up the ladder to another company if the right UI/UX offer came along. Glad to see others climbing. Also, remember what Derek Sivers says about money: "Money is a neutral indicator of value." The work you...

Wow man! That's fantastic. Y'all hiring a UI/UX designer? /halfjoking

This thread was super helpful. Thank you folks!

This is helpful. I've seen Aldi mentioned a couple of times - they have 1lb of lentils at $1.45 plus tax. I didn't think to check Walmart - we stopped going there in favor of Aldi some time ago because of how expensive our local Walmart was. Thanks y'all!

Anybody have success buying lentils online? I am new to the lentil scene and am in love. I plan to make it a staple in our family diet and search the forums here for recipes, but want to find places where I can buy big bags of them - as cheaply as possible, of course - and figure some of y'all have ...

It didn't actually end up that restful in terms of things done, but it was restful for me. No intentional wall-to-wall hustli...

I live in New Orleans and travel to Mobile, AL fairly frequently. Are you in Birmingham?

North by about an hour, near Decatur.

I'm in North Alabama. Anybody else in the area? Would love to connect.

We're in the phase of learning basic skills right now - learning how to read, how to do math, how to be responsible for one's own toys and bedroom, helping with housework, and starting to learn about money. So a lot of the ERE teaching is by example right now, or by bringing them into discussions ab...

Hey there! Just introducing myself. 30yo male, life with my 30yo wife and two kids (6yo girl and 4yo boy) in a rural area in southeast USA. I was first exposed to FIRE via MMM in August 2021 and knew it was the way I needed to go, but based on the burnout I was dealing with in my job that I needed t...
