Holy $hit – for real! 50% savings is no joke – you’re killing it! Who cares about that measly $800 on c/cs haha… Welcome to your new life of FREEDOM :)

I am enjoying your blog thoroughly:-) im commited i scored 8. I just started this year month of july precisely. I still have 800 dollars debt in credit card but its interest free. I sock away 20k already into my FI fund and 200k+ in my retirement fund. I save more than 50% of my wages. If ive know that i could be a millionaire ever i would have save all my income since i started full time work 10 yrs ago.

Another excellent post and fun quiz! I proudly scored 11. My husband has been cutting my hair for the last 3 years :) Salon (hair, nails, etc.) appointments are outrageously expensive and I prefer an early retirement. Don’t worry, I did invest in a professional cut before the wedding. Always look forward to reading your blog. Thanks for providing such insightful and inspiring posts!

Then you’ve got a good problem to work off :)

And luckily there are plenty other ways to invest – what’s important of course is just that you’re doing it, wherever you’re able to and whichever route best fits your style (stocks, real estate, business, etc)

ACK! Did not see that story coming, damn – I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing it though and reminding us it’s not always rainbows at FI. That is just so horrible, i can’t even imagine :(
