Hello There

Post by TimeTravel »

Hello,

Found this place after doing a search on early retirement forums and after reading a few posts can tell this looks like a friendly place to gain some insight, make a worthwhile contribution and have some good discourse. So here I am.

Though I don't want to talk too much about myself ( I like the incognito that the internet provides -- at least supposedly :lol: ), I'm excited and looking forward to knowing some of you in cyberspace.

A little info about me however:

- male, retired early before reaching 50 years old.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome.

Some of the things I did to help in the goal to retire early ...

1) start saving, investing at an early age (time on my side)
2) maxing out 401K, IRA contributions
3) LBYM (living below your means) - not spending money I don't have and staying away from debt.

I also had a decent job and no dependents so that make the early retirement more a possibility.
