Shout out to my inspiring Mustachians!
« on: July 09, 2014, 10:24:23 PM »
Thanks to the one user who shared her tip about "shopping" (grabbing items in a store but ultimately leaving without trying them on or buying them), and the user (Nikki!) who did not buy herself a wedding gown, I probably saved myself about $800 worth of regret.

Baby steps people, baby steps! Woot :) Anyways thanks for sharing all of your stories and ideas, it helps a ton!

A final shout out to my SO, who isn't on here but deserves some credit because he helps me stay "on the path" even though he was once one of those partners that just hadn't seen the light yet. AWESOME.

Has someone inspired you lately?

Great to hear.

Something about "look after the pennies and the Pounds will take care of themselves"  (British money is is pounds and pennies).

This case its, "set the foundational habits and before you know it your a millionaire..:)

Good for you!

Frankh - for sharing his post-retirement experiences and adjustments. I know I will struggle with moving from saving for FIRE to FIREing, emotionally and otherwise. Sharing his exoeriences is helping me think about all of this.
Arebelspy - always brings a new perspective to the discussion, and is a real estate juggernaut
Kriegsspiel- always makes me laugh, priceless!
IPDaley - tech reviews!

I love Mrs. Frugalwoods.  Her blog (http://www.frugalwoods.com/) is adorable.  Even if the blog was complete garbage, I would check it out for the adorable pictures of the Frugal Hound (always in costume).

Off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm missing some:

The other mods for making my life easier (especially kkbmustang, swick, and Russ)
bo_knows for cFIREsim
James for his down to earth posts
Sol, for his Philosophical questions
Another Reader, for his real estate experience
Kriegsspiel for his humor
Nords, for his military and ER experience
RootofGood for setting a real FIRE example
Bakari for his out of the box thinking
grantmeaname, for his eloquent arguments
matchewed, for his insightful posts
warfreak2 for his logic/math
MMM for kicking this shindig off and setting a great example
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.
