Relatively new here so please go easy on my ignorance. In the last few months I have been soaking up information from any and all sources I can get my hands on. Podcasts, blogs, more popular financial personalities, and forums of individuals' experience. I have learned in addition to MMM, there is another guy interviewed on the Dough Roller podcast that has become financially independent in 10 years.
How much does having a high earning dual income come into play when establishing FI? Both MMM and the Dough Roller interviewee were both married in their 20s and each have 6 figure incomes in addition their spouses.
I live in Southern California, which is a high cost of living area. I try to offset that by having a roommate to share the living expenses. I'm also selling my obnoxious SUV next month and biking to work. I live about 6.5 miles away from the office. Should I consider getting more roommates? Currently the two of us split a 2b/2ba apartment in the same city I work in.
I make about 85K base salary, but with benefits I'm over 100K. That seems to be about the median for the city in which I reside in.
