The Law and Legal Service Plans (Road To Financial Independence Book 1)

Ahh, got it — thanks. How interesting that the dividend fund has only a minimally higher dividend yield than the everything fund. RetiredToWin December 1, , 7: And now… I am free! RetiredToWin Alex April 3, , Frugality without sacrifice plus budget optimization are the tools helping me to squeeze more and more out of money and out of life.

Z Money April 10, , 5: Ryan S Eggert May 16, , 6: Ravi February 1, , 6: I found the article interesting, but I doubt it applies to everyone. Clearly living frugally when in debt is a no brainer. Otherwise, save at every step of life and retire early to do what exactly? Save more money along the way?

I used to be in this mind set in the beginning, trying to save at everything. I am also becoming more aware that death is only a moment away for anyone and that extra saved money is not of much use when dead. Both our kids go to public school, our son just started college on an academic full ride. All this saves money. There it is, value vs. For instance I drive a very expensive car it will not even get to MMM not recommended list , but spent months haggling on the best deal I could get.

I was clear what I wanted and waited and got the best deal. Obviously it was something we could afford, otherwise it would not be even an option. Having said all this, I more than agree that a lot of money we spend does not give happiness and that should be the focus. Those suggestions are good irrespective of whether they save money or not.

ReapAHarvest December 20, , 2: Any tips or pointers would be appreciated! Emma July 26, , I would also add that you should look all over for your vehicles and be prepared to walk away. David May 31, , 7: Go into the store to shop, not to buy. Check out the cars you are interested, test drive them. Once you have a short list of cars models and the desired trim levels, start emailing delerships.

As many as you can in as wide an area as you can stand. Go back and forth, let people know what the best deals you are finding are, and see if they can beet it. The best way to know you have made it as far as possible is when they start accusing you of making up your prices: When you have the BEST price for the cars you want, start going into dealerships again and talk financing. Never be afraid to walk away. Both recent car purchases were proceeded with walkouts.

Ok, there are tons of other things to keep in mind, but the whole emailing and shopping around processes has proven to work very well for me. Lin May 30, , I do agree with your views. I am Indian too but not stereotypical! I did have debt. I thought was the norm and the only way to live as that is what I learnt from living in NA. This of course is not relevant if your current job is your passion. Irina October 9, , 7: I used to be super cheap, buying only items that are about to expire, never traveled, never went out, buy the cheapest clothes.

Now I am trying to figure out what brings pleasure and what experiences are worth paying money for. If you have a family of 6, and struggling paying your rent, then sure, eating rice and beans is something you have to do. But if you enjoy cooking and trying out different recipes brings you joy, why not spend a little bit more? That can be an experience by itself.

I think life is not much about retiring early, but more about enjoying what you do. If you love your job, then why would you quit that? You can always negotiate less hours, but not to work completely is weird, if you thrive at work and love challenging yourself. Johnny February 22, , This about sums it all up. Gratefull February 22, , 7: I love this topic and the IDea of transforming today instead of waiting for some future intangible retirement. Oliver December 8, , 4: I would love to hear more about your session — what topics did you cover?

Simple Economist February 22, , I think I have a new link to send out when my friends ask: I just have to wonder, is this the outline for the soon to published book: Must-stash February 22, , 1: Purple February 22, , 8: That was my first thought. I have a couple of favourite posts I send to people as an intro … but I usually just tell them the site name and recommend that they push the random article button four or five times.

If they just do that, I believe that due to the cosmic goodness of the MMM universe, they will find something that resonates for them. Ross February 22, , I know it changed mine quite dramatically. Cheer for making millions of folks rich one blog post at a time! Sister X February 22, , Have fun in the Seattle area! MM perhaps write a blog post? Kenneth February 25, , 7: I could not agree with this more.

Even though the failure was heartbreaking, it made me reevaluate my life and goals, and instantly start mega-funding a b. I finally understand that every dollar I save today buys me time in my future. Thank you so much, MMM. Lance Money Life and More February 22, , I think one of the biggest things I have taken away from your blog is to ask myself would this purchase, item or experience really make me happier.

Virginia Family Law: Divorce and Child Custody

On top of that I think you really make people examine how our society allows people to be wasteful without a second thought. I am definitely glad I found your blog a. Mr February 23, , 5: I think it that may be the MOST important thing to learn. Its about our relationships and the time we spend with others. Billy Murphy February 22, , PerpetualAsianStudent February 22, , This post was incredibly useful for any newcomers in that it really does get down the the nitty gritty of financial independence.

Holly ClubThrifty February 22, , You get get a Roku box off of Amazon. It is awesome if you have kids because all of the popular cartoons are on it and easily accessible. Melissa February 22, , 1: Holly ClubThrifty February 22, , 2: I totally agree with that. Years ago, I would turn on the tv and just get sucked into whatever was on, good or not. Now, I have to actually pick my shows…and I rarely do. Life is so much more fulfilling without mindless television watching. There is so many other things to do. Rusty Williams February 22, , 2: I have been without it for a little over a year now.

Left my previous job huge time sink and started my own business. I may not be saving as much as I would like yet, but it has been a nice exercise on cutting costs during the start up time. I am as happy now as I have been in years. Stress is good, more time with kids. Melissa February 24, , 6: We would so much rather be playing outside or reading something like a blog….

We grew more and more frustrated at a commercial every 2 minutes! We watch a lot of public t. Henk May 27, , 1: Actually, 2 years in the USA made us cut the cable in we are originally from Europe , probably the best outcome of having been there in Texas…. We were physically sick of that fear-mongering TV in USA, the repeating Ads, the shouting, the mindless talks, it was just too much sickness.

Now we have been free for 9 years, and never looked back. Thanks USA for this great experience! Lacy February 22, , 2: Another plug for the Roku, if you have an Amazon Prime membership, you get access to their instant streaming as well. AND, the rotate their free content for Prime members pretty regularly so their is always something new. Laura Frugal Newlyweds February 22, , 2: We live in a rural area with slowish internet, so streaming is not amazing. However, last fall we purchased an older model of tivo box and love it. It was really exciting to get rid of one of our bills!

CrazyWorld February 25, , 9: Those are the channels we watch most other than kiddy stuff sometimes. That is what stops me from cutting cable entirely.

Lindsey February 28, , 3: Spend your time listening to free podcasts, cooking delicious dinners, playing outside, biking, doing yoga, exercising, having friends over, reading, baking, or doing any manner of free things. Also, most TV shows nowadays post recent episodes online so you can keep up with shows you like that way for free!

Also, Redbox is a super easy way to rent DVDs for cheap, although I admit that sometimes the selection is lacking.

Keep up,the good work!! Petra February 22, , My boyfriend is currently enjoying some semi-retirement. He can do this because he made a lot of money over the last few years and saved most of it. His savings will last him several years if need be, but probably new jobs will come to him whenever he is done inventing.

HappyFund February 22, , There are so many different opinions about what happiness means that we tend to just resign to the fact that it depends on the person. It states that after we fulfill our basic needs there are three innate psychological needs: If these three are satisfied, we experience what we call happiness.

As it turns out, retirement or financial independence is the perfect way to satisfy the need for autonomy. If we no longer have to work for a paycheck, we suddenly have more time to pursue other options. People who have options are happier, and those that have infinite choices are truly content. Even your advice about DIY repairs and bicycling instead of driving has a direct contribution to the need for competence.

Notice how there is no mention of extrinsic aspirations like being rich, prestige, or having nice things. Nathan Drake February 22, , This is an awesome overview! Everything in one post for new folks. I already recommended this post to a friend of mine who recently started reading this blog.

The ad said it was brand new. I called and asked if the price was firm. I went to the sellers home and she hit the garage button to reveal a floor to ceiling warehouse of a garage filled with things she and her husband had bought but apparently never used. The inversion table was there with the manufacturer tags still on it. It was indeed new. I use that inversion table every night. M February 22, , 1: May I also gently suggest trying yoga? No fancy equipment or clothes some yogis practice virtually naked , just postures and deep breathing. My tough-guy husband grew up in an mining town in Montana essentially crawled to my yoga class and has never looked back.

February 22, , 3: Thanks for the suggestion.

I will compromise and hang upside down naked on the inversion table. Jamesqf February 23, , More like compulsive shoppers, the ones who get their kicks from the act of buying stuff. I have neighbors close to that, though they do tend to use things a few times before relegating them to the garage. Mary Ellen January 9, , 7: I used to go to the chiropractor every few weeks for lower back soreness and issues. Fitness Blender is where I get all my free videos now.

Saving for the future rather than buying today has been my personal philosophy for my entire life. I gave my allowance to my dad to put in the bank when I was 5 — 6 years old. Many of my clients earn well into the six figures and have no emergency savings. They have no idea where their money is going and they often have accumulated credit card debt. Which often is the excuse.

It is a real challenge to get them to understand the simple math of simplifying and modifying their lifestyle will allow them to save. Of course this only works when both spouses agree. This is whole other story. I have actually found that I am happier and more content with fewer things and a less complicated life in general. I look forward to the day when we have built up enough wealth for us to walk away from our jobs completely as you have. By simplifying life things really do become better. My Financial Independence Journey February 22, , As someone on his own path to financial independence, I would agree with most of what MMM stated above.
