Nice work! What do you think have been the biggest changes you made, to bring this about?
Mmmm automating stuff helps a ton. Probably more important overall has been the realization that I don't have to work till im 65 or something though. I kind of thought on some level that I needed to like save 10 million, and it was essentially out of reach as someone who will likely not make much more than 100k ever.
That realization that all you need is a million give or take a few hundred, made me stop buying random crap, stop having 1000 grocery/restaurant budgets for our family. When every time you save 10k your 1% closer, and its a x you can cross off your list to get to your goal.... its a lot more relevant than when you think it doesn't matter, so might as well spend it.
Also, we've worked really really bloody hard, added about 18k to my salary, bought a house next to my work, rented out both half's of our duplex instead of just one half(also fixed up the house to increase rent), I bike to work, I nerded out on mad fientist so we get all of those optimizations... etc etc. We're as optimized as we can manage without living in my mom's basement... which we seriously considered lol :P.
