In reply to Christine. the good thing is that any of us can become millionaires if we let time work its magic (and start early!) :)

That’s great! Love that you went about your business for the day as “two-face”. It’s amazing looking back on how your thinking changes over time – even a short 5 years. Looking back on myself, 5 years of change means getting married (which is definitely a psychological change).

Good luck in the future and looking forward to more great posts in the financial independence arena!

I still want to be a millionaire (and I really still want to be stinking rich – minus the stress of getting there and I may be 90 before I even build a decent stash – aka, debt sucks).

But two things stood out that made me chuckle, as i have similar traits:

Lack of iPhone, lottery tickets, cable (okay, I still have the iphone)
And now wanting a tiny house. haha.

J$,

Congrats, man! Love the picture. Epic!

I know firsthand how challenging (but also how rewarding) it is to cut it online. We’re making our dreams come true in real-time. It’s pretty awesome.

Keep it up. Can’t wait to see the picture for the 2020 you. :)

Cheers!

In reply to Aaron. Way to only work 20 hours!!! I'm getting closer to it as the years go by, but still pretty far away. At least until we move to a two-income household.

In reply to Tonya@Budget and the Beach. Haha yup! And is something most wannabe self-employed people don't even understand until they go off on their own. I sure as hell didn't. And I often miss just having 1 boss too! You always have to make so many decisions when you're on your own.

In reply to Free to Pursue. Yes! All the money in the world is pointless if all you're doing is working 24/7!
