Halfway There
« on: August 21, 2014, 08:01:58 PM »
First, thanks to everyone on the board for the inspiration.   
 
I ran the numbers today and the final number came out to exactly $500.0k liquid assets.   Now it's just a number, the market is very high, there are many reasons to not get too worked up .. but I don't care, this is the best! 

I have been living the mustachian lifestyle for probably 15 years now.  There were times at the beginning where it was so hard.  The sacrifices really hit home when everyone you know is living it up.   The payoff was distant.  We are getting to a point now where the benefit is not in some distant future but in the here and now.  Already I have a great deal of flexibility and low stress with my employment which just wouldn't have been possible if we were paycheck to paycheck.   FIRE is 10 years away.  We have the option to go part-time tomorrow and just coast it out.  Life is good!

All I can say is that the system works.
