Greetings from Alaska

I'm 22. In my adult life thus far I've been a lot less consumerist than those around me (thank you Marcus Aurelius), and I ready Mr. Money Mustache for a while before finding Jacob's blog about a year ago. MMM was very helpful, but ERE opened up my eyes to a whole new level of frugality that I previously didn't realize existed.
I have characteristics all the way from 0-7 on the Wheaton scale. I don't budget, but I do track my spending religiously. I spent 53% of my income last year, and I'm on track to do better this year. I invest in an index fund with Vanguard, and am looking into other options as well.
After highschool, I became the first kid in my family to forego college. Instead, I joined the military and became an electronics technician. At this point, I'm also the first of my siblings not to obtain a master's degree, but I did recently get started on an associates in electronics and instrumentation.
In my free time, I like to read, lift weights, cook, and eat. Often with friends. I also enjoy hiking when the weather's good.
My Myers Briggs type is INTJ. I look forward to learning from you guys.
