When it comes to avoiding marriage, I've always been a pro, and considered myself more of a teacher then a learner.

But i still found myself trying to"keep up with the Joneses".

All the posts on here about minimalist lifestyles spoke to me. Because of this i cleared out nearly all my debt including my mortgage. Within this next year I will be able to quit my job for work i find more enjoyable regardless of pay.

No, i won't retire early. I enjoy working and having fuck you money takes the stress away. Thanks for the motivation brothers.
