Hello,
I'm 27 y/o, and first time poster. This site has been an inspiration to me since I first discovered it a few months back. Prior to this year, I didn't think an alternative lifestyle was possible outside of 9-5 from M-F for the next 40 years.
With that said, I'm now starting my very own path to achieving extreme early retirement. I'm looking forward to gaining insight and tips from other like-minded individuals. One of the first things I did this year was revise my savings rate. Whereas I use to think saving 20% to 30% of my income was doing a good job, I now strive for 60% to 70%. It seems to be getting easier as the months go by.
Nice to meet you.
