I retired at 48. A really intelligent money manager or investment counselor is a must. I pay out ofRead More pocket for health and dental insurance. But my home and car are paid for and I have no debts. It's easier to retire when those things fall into place.

Marlene is spot on!!! Unfortunately in the current self absorbed instant gratification society,Read More what Marlene has done is considered "Extreme savings" as this article is in the titled. But in reality, what Marlene has done is prudent, wise, responsible, done without puttting a burden on government and society. She should be admired, instead, the twisted logic of some people ridicule her for being cheap, prudish, miserly etc.... All of her money saving strategies add up. Except for clipping coupons and putting 45% into retirement fund, I pretty much mirror the techniques that she uses to save money. At the same time, one has to become educated and work very hard to earn money. I know personally, without a dime of inheritance, that becoming financially independent is possible through saving, hard work, discipline and self control.
