[quote=6packscaredy] I owe it all to the book we read in 2001 when we had 20,000 in credit card debt, and 35,000 in total income, and kids…. THE TIGHTWAD GAZETTE[/quote]
Not spending too much on stupid stuff really pays off, doesn’t it. We are so happy with our paid-off house and healthy bank balance. Now we have to get up the nerve to quit working for the man…have done 8-5 job plus family stuff so long, that I am not sure what else I want to do in life. Continuing to work when we don’t really need to seems stupid, though. I read http://www.mrmoneymustache.com religiously, he preaches early retirement, but now that we can, I am finding it surprisingly difficult to make the leap…
