I've jumped in the pool

April 7th, 2006 at 03:38 am

Wow. I have just discovered this site and personal finance blogs in the past few weeks and have spent way too many hours lurking. Decided it was time to jump in and just start somewhere.

I am stuck in the 80's when it comes to personal finance. I gave up my career to be a SAHM and soon my mind turned to mush.

DH and I would like to retire at an early age (55)....I know thats not early for some people but it sounds like a dream to us.

I intend to accomplish that with a combination of:

Earning more during the remaining working years

Saving more

Spending less

Investing/Managing what we already have.

Living Simply.....not minimalist...but we are getting off of the consumerism merry go round!

I'm very excited to finally be blogging and appreciate comments and advice

    Hi Wanna! I too was a SAHM, but I took part time work, actually three jobs, to keep me sharp and I work at them when I want. It sounds like your goals are much like the rest of us! Welcome to the zoo!
