Hello!
« on: February 13, 2016, 06:14:29 PM »
Hello Mustachians!

Long-time reader, and a 21M/student hailing from Boston over here.

I just wanted to say that it is so nice to find a group of people who reject the pandemic of over-consumerism and who understand what truly matters in life- social relationships, engaging in fulfilling activities, and financial independence.

Ever since I stumbled upon MMM about 9 months ago, I've been captivated by the allure of financial freedom. Since then, I have taken multiple steps towards instilling strong habits to set myself up for financial independence, including teaching myself to cook healthy, affordable, and low-cost meals, riding my bike everywhere, starting a brokerage account with Vanguard, and (just today), ditching my expensive carrier and switched to a free plan with FreedomPop.

It is a pleasure to be a part of this community, and I look forward to reading all of your posts!

Welcome, FIREtowin!

You are very fortunate and smart to start on the Mustachian path so young. I wish I had started saving and living smart when I was your age.

Welcome!

Love to hear young people with such a great mindset.  :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.
