I’ve found your posts to be honest, thought-provoking and relatable – things that I am really looking for in FIRE blogs. Not just the hows but the whys of early retirement. And I’ve found them to be very relatable as a woman and mom myself. Keep up the great work. You’re making a difference!

Thank you for this comment. I’m glad you enjoyed my recent posts. As you can see I’ve been blogging since 2006, but those early entries are rough 😉 Back then a blog post was just a bunch of random thoughts typed into the Internet. Congratulations on finding a job you love and looking forward to a life without it. There are a lot of people striving for financial freedom, but not that many that write about it once they hit those magic numbers. I hope my blog inspires those who are trying to reach FI. I also hope it shows how money is one aspect of retirement and life after work. In the world of personal finance we can focus intensely on dollars and cents, but life is about so much more than that.

I just discovered it after reading FIRE blogs for over a decade.
My favorite entries are your recent ones. Finally a FIRE blog that does talk about what to do when you have money. Your entries are wise and thought provoking. Should I stay home for my kids, and why should I? Wonderful questions that talk about the meaning of your life and your time. And questions that cannot be answered by money.
I am just short of retirement. My wife and I a happily working as architects, but I want to stop and do what else there is to do, volunteer, read, enjoy children and future grand children, stop the worry about the next project at work.
I have worked for 30 years and its worked out better than I could dream when I decided on my career. And now its time to move on. But how much money will we need and will my wife be happy when income goes down? And will our kids expect some of our income? Those are great questions even when not retiring early, or barely early.
Thank you again for writing about your life, it is wonderfully inspiring.
