In my younger years (post college through 30) I was cruising in high dollar cars and dining at expensive restaurants a lot. I can't say that I regret those days, but they certainly slowed down my wealth building progress.

I look forward to watching your portfolio grow until you reach FI. You are well on your way. You've been fortunate, as have I, to have a higher than normal income. It's the savings rates that set us apart from our peers. While my friends are buying expensive houses and cars, I'm content with what I currently have and would rather put excess money to work for me in the market or in real estate. <br /><br />Again, awesome work!All About Interesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412467028446944315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878884597386050425.post-86198754734524207672014-11-25T06:48:37.430-06:002014-11-25T06:48:37.430-06:00Sameer Syed,

Doing something you have never done before takes new extremes you haven't been put through before, and luckily through your frugal upbringing - having a higher salary definitely assists with no lifestyle inflation. I really wish I Had $14.5K in forward dividend income (Sitting at approximately $4,575) but am having my game plan so that that in 2-3 years I will be there (aiming for $5,750 by next year in hopes of crushing it). <br /><br />Congratulations, enjoy the break and you've earned a lifetime of vacation - but knowing you and the we you and how we all are - we are go getters and will not let up for anything.

I keep telling myself that everything is possible when you truly want to do it; you are the living proof, congratulation!<br /><br />I'm a little younger (33) and aim at FI in two years. I'm taking a different step than yours thought; I'm count on selling everything I have, buy an RV and travel across America for a year with my family (I'm married with three kids). I hope at this point my internet venture will cover for my cost of living and that I would never have to go back to a 9 to 5 job anymore <br /><br />Thx for sharing this story, this is truly inspiring!<br /><br />MikeThe Dividend Guyhttp://www.dividendstocksrock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878884597386050425.post-87641277130332924772014-11-21T12:39:13.245-06:002014-11-21T12:39:13.245-06:00DK,

Actually that happens to may sometimes it must be appear ridiculous if you sit on so many shares and can't pay your bill... but no money on the bank account is like a road block that helps you to stay on your frugal tack. No bad thing!<br /><br />Cant wait for your next article.
