Just turned 29 5 days ago. Married. No kids yet. Wife is 32.
Found out about MMM about 3 or 4 years ago, when I was sitting in a cubicle hating my life and thinking there had to be a better way. Since then, wife and I built a residual income of a few thousand bucks per month with a direct sales biz, relocated, both quit our jobs. I recently started working again, as we wanted some extra cash flow when we start cranking out some kids.
Always been "thrifty," as in fixing/repurposing things when possible, and just not really liking to waste money, but I had some bad spending habits in college and afterward. Wife has always been "frugal" and preferred to make things on her own versus buying things, if it made sense to do so.
Currently debt free. Net worth is somewhere around $70k all in, but we sold our un-mustachian house about a year ago, and relocated (currently crashing with my folks for free until we know what we're doing with our lives). End goal is to retire as early as possible. We enjoy spending the majority of our time outdoors exploring, so that's very cheap and rewarding. We just need a roof over our head, heat, water, food, oh...and internet, and we're good. :-)
Side note, but I feel like we are seeing a pretty big shift in our generation from wanting to work for the next 50 years like our parents did/are doing to looking at jobs and income opportunities as temporary sacrifices for long term freedom. There are a lot of millenials out there with screwed up spending habits, but the smart ones are catching on quickly, as evidenced by this thread and the success of this forum in general. I went through all the steps of being a "successful" career man, only to realize that I get no personal satisfaction from any of it. I am inherently jealous of those of you who say you actually enjoy your job and don't mind passing the time working, as I've never experienced this phenomenon, and only met personally a couple people in my life who claim to have accomplished this. I definitely think that would make the time pass much easier on our way to our savings goals, but just knowing it's all temporary makes me rest easier. There's just something about trading my time freedom for dollar bills that rubs me the wrong way, so we're working to rectify that as soon as possible!
Anyway, cheers to all of you on the same path as us! Hopefully someday, as we raise our own kids, we'll be able to reshape the priorities and show that family and time freedom should come before chasing dollars building someone else's dream!
