Hi Everybody!
My name is Scott and I am from Michigan. I am 41, employed as a medical coder at the moment, with a paying hobby as a guitarist in a classic rock band. About a month ago, I discovered ERE through a Google search for ISTJ (my MBTI type) and found Jacob's amazing site and concepts. I considered myself frugal and had read the Tightwad Gazette compilation a few times, but I never dreamed of the possibility of early retirement, extreme or otherwise. Until now. I have managed to shave about $300 of worthless expenses from my life in the last month and I project I can retire in about 5 and half years. So, thanks, Jacob, and everyone here who has contributed good ideas!
