I too agree that this was a solid post back to the starting points that helped put this place on the map. I've been around now for about three years and I was missing some of the articles that attached me to this community in the first place. I'm still a ways away from my day walking into the sunset as I only have about 50% of my target amount, but that is about 87% more than I had three years ago when I found this place, and articles like the one just posted kept me motivated to stash that cash instead of my old pre-MMM self being more prone to splurge on things that likely would not bring me any long term happiness. I do like the peek into insurance and I will still be walking away a bit before I get to move on to Medicare and have to cover the gap. This will likely be my single largest monthly expense, and is one of the areas I have the most concern about. I have been blessed lately with having to only really need something from a doctor once a year, but not sure how long that will continue as I age.
