I quit today ...starting ERE in 2 weeks
Hi all,
I just want to announce that I quit my IT job today and I will be working 2 more weeks, than I will be free.
I started saving 2 years ago and here I am today being able to ERE, hopefully everything will go as planned.
I would like to thank Jacob for putting this website together and writing a very good book, which both opened my mind. Also a big THANK YOU to the other members of this forum for keeping it going.

Thanks Spartan. Yep, just 2 years.
I understood a few things about ERE: not to spend on things that I don't need, eat out less or none, stopped buying clothes which was a high spending before.
Another thing that helped me was the fact I don't own a house. I rent, but my boyfriend actually pays the rent and most bills.. Also my car is paid off, never actually had rates on it. So pretty much I will spend money on gas, food and some bills.
I still have a lot of crap to sell, mostly clothes and other little things I've neve used. I sold all my CD's/DVD's and most books.

Thank you all.
I hope I can invest all my money is stocks etc so I can have a monthly budget. I've been a day trader for a few years now, so I have some experinece in investing.
I would like to volunteer to some places and travel around the globe. I know traveling is not exactly an ERE thing, but I have traveled many times in the past and I know how to do it on the budget.

Congratulations!
I traveled non-stop for my first 3 years of ERE. I mainly traveled in inexpensive parts of the world (Asia, Central and South America).
After a few years, I wanted to live overseas to experience different cultures in-depth. I worked part-time and lived overseas for the next 8 years. If you want to travel, it's very easy to do with an ERE lifestyle.
