I just signed up and am new to the group. My friend recommended this forum, blog, and website to me. I plan on reading a good majority of the articles in the next week.
My current financial situation is that I am debt free. House is paid off, cars are paid off, and I have $200K for retirement. I am 36. I have been debt free for about 2 years and have been wanting to be work independent. Work independent meaning I don't want to work for someone else or I can finally be my dream job (back country ranger). So, I look forward to reading everyone's post, asking lots of questions, and working on being wealthy enough to not have to work for someone else.
