Nice to meet you!

2. There appear to be some conventions/content traditions for these journal entries. I couldn't find where they are spelled out (book perhaps?), so I've been a bit overly conversational and substantially deficient on the fact reporting. It wasn't intentional.
For the life of me I can't be interested in whether we have 6 million or 6 billion or maybe 50 million basepairs in our DNA, on the amount of zeroes when describing the amount of stars in the universe, or on the amount of electricity that is produced by a wind turbine. It's "a lot"...
I loved reading your musings, and I hope they are also helping you improve your life in some way.
I'm probably also doing ERE-light, given that I spent roughly $25k last year and will do the same this year. And that I will probably be FI only by age 45 to 50 or so... Hopefully! But this forum inspires me and is also an antidote to the people who are spending all they earn and then some. It shows me that so much more is possible than what I thought is possible...
