About Me

---

I'm an every day gal with no special talents well on my way to retiring at age 45 on a nothing special salary. I graduated college in hopes of making it big time in the corporate world, but that just isn't happening. But, I found my true dream, to retire early and live the one life I was given to the fullest.

I had an epiphany one day in a college personal finance class and it was very shortly after that my grandmother past away with no money for a funeral that I realized how extremely important it was to save. I then realized the powerful tools for saving. I wanted to shout it to the world and tell everyone I came across what they could do to help their family, friends, and themselves. I knew how to make money worry-free and how to make it work so that we could retire early.

Unfortunately, I had to learn quickly that it's best to keep my goal a secret from most friends and work colleagues. Retiring early that is. Most people I talk to laugh and say I have to work passed 45 years of age.  They'll try to convince me that I don't know what I'm doing and there's no way I could retire early.  Some people think I'm out right joking. I don't blame them. The social norm is to work until 65 and even that social norm is slowly changing to 67.  

So here's my story to the people like me who have to lurk in the shadows with our investment tools waiting for the perfect day when we lay down the retirement card to our bosses. Here's to the people that want to open themselves to the financial world and read every word just like me.  I'm here and I'm going to write it.
