    Default Back from future planning meeting w/ investor...Life is wonderful

    I must thank each and everyone of you who takes the time to post...tips, recipes, ups and downs,everything! Because we have embraced the frugal way of living...in 16 years my Husband and I will beable to retire with a conservative 2.5 million dollars to our names...and our ages will be 47 and 55...and our retirment dream is to build out on our lakelot. I just had to share this...because all the posts I read confirm this way of life...which is hard when everyone else is trying to keep up with Jones!

    Way to go! I dream about giving out $100 bills, but don't tell DH. We obviously aren't doing as well as you, Sophiamom, on the income front. Still, we've already seen the payoff financially by being frugal too. It's a great lifestyle!
