Had to register just to share. I found MMM almost exactly a year ago and decided that this "full time work until I'm 65 thing" just isn't for me. I'd like to have a life thank you. I've spent all my time since then learning to cook, deciding what actually makes me happy, getting fit, paying down debt, learning how to invest what I have and generally planning out my future FI. So as of today, I am officially debt free. It all goes in to the FI stache from here on out.
So thanks to MMM for making me believe it is possible. Thanks to the MMM community for keeping me motivated. Keep up the great ideas!
