Oh wow. I should be posting in the celebrations thread, but I'm too eager to ask you guys... So, I was talking to my partner and the subject of "I wish I could retire" came up, and I seized the moment to talk to her about MMM. She knows I've been reading a lot on here lately and I've mentioned a few things. I explained sort of what it's about without going into a whole lot of detail, and asked her if she'd be willing to open-mindedly read some MMM, and she said a pretty emphatic YES.
So... Help me out here, guys, I woudl like to get her totally on board. What's the BEST MMM blog link to send her to get her hooked without sending her out the door screaming? I want her to know why MMM does this, that he does this for the "right" reasons, that there is sacrifice involved but that it ultimately actually brings way more happiness and fulfillment, and that one does not need to be bored after early retirement, just that one has a choice of how to spend that time.
If it helps, here's a little about her: 35 yo female, we're getting married soon, just bought a house, steady income, somewhat frugal in her ways already, lots of student loans, and just bought a new car, but no credit card debt (had a ton after being unemployed for a while, but diligently paid it off about a year ago).
