New user from Chicagoland
« on: August 09, 2013, 11:19:15 AM »
New user here. I found MMM a few months ago and as a result changed a lot of my financial priorities. When I married last September DH and I had no debt and hardly any savings. Even before MMM we were working on boosting savings and improving DH's earning potential. We had been planning on "saving" so we could buy a new car and eventually a McMansion. Both goals have been replaced with saving for retirement and for a substantial down payment on a modest house.

I started biking to work occasionally a few years ago. MMM has given me the kick in the pants I needed to start biking every day.

Welcome.  Isn't it amazing how much better you feel when you realize you don't have to go along what everyone else expects you to have when you get married and settle down!
