Early Retirement Extreme Forums

I've been hard-pressed to find people with the same mindset of living below your means since I became aware of how unfortunate it was to be deep in debt at the eager age of 21. It seems like between here and MMM, I've found the community I've been searching for.

I went from broke to budgeteer extraordinaire in short order, saving over 90% of my take-home pay long enough to get out of debt and soar toward financial freedom. Now getting into the minutiae of ERE with everyone here is going to be a blast. I can't wait.

Welcome!

90% is quite impressive, you should consider starting a journal. How far are you into accumulation?

I don't know if I'll ever accumulate enough, or rather I don't know if I'll ever stop investing. I'm at a point where I'm very comfortable with how I'm living, only needing to take on some consulting rarely if I feel the need to take on a cool project. I take sabbaticals otherwise. I just sold everything that won't fit in the car and am about to take a year touring the country to find where I want to finally call home.

Welcome! Wish it was easier to find ere types irl.
