*** begin quote ***
On 31 December 2009, I finished what I hope will be my last full-time, permanent job. I’ve worked a bit here and there over the past year, but it’s on my own terms, and not because I have to. I’m now semi-retired at the age of 45. But what does that mean?
About nine years ago, after reading Your Money or Your Life, I changed from an under-earning, confused woman to a woman with a mission: to never have to work again (unless I wanted to). In November of last year, I reached the Crossover Point, where the income from investments exceeded my expenses. (I think it actually happened sooner than that, but I hadn’t been paying attention.) At last, nine years after first figuring out what I wanted to work hard and save money for, I’d reached Financial Independence.

Interesting. Wish I could have done it. Sigh.
Guess I should have read that book.
Bout the only thing I can remember doing right was matching car loan to car savings plan.

I think I’ve made most of the mistakes. Wonder if I should write the “fat old white guy injineer’s guide to money”?
