NEW here!
You all are SOOOO INSPIRING!
Hubby & I followed Dave Ramsey steps to get us this far
(4 kids all through college, primary home paid off, 2 rental properties with a small mortgage on 1 of them).
WISH we would have found you SOONER!
We didn't DREAM about pulling the plug on our jobs (I think you call it "getting FIred"?) until we found MMM.
We've been crunching #'s and building speradsheets the last few days,
and realized that, by plugging a few holes in our otherwise frugal budget,
we believe we could save enough $$ to retire in just 14 months.
My Q to you:
If we save $5500 each month, is there a good place to put it /invest it, other than my non-interest bearing savings account?
We may opt to work a few months longer, but would eventually need easy access to the money to live on until we start pulling 4% out of our 401k
at age 59 1/2 (we know we can pull it early, but don't want to).
I look forward to your recommendations.
In the meantime, just know that I am THRILLED to be here!
Looking FORWARD to learning MORE!
Sincerely,
the DustBunny from N Kentucky
