I think Jacob is an INTJ magnet. ;-\ Strong work and good comment, Jane in SF; I concur with you. I've been on a lazy, easy early retirement for the past couple of years, and it's a bit dissonant.

I’ve been on a lazy, easy early retirement for the past couple of years, and it’s a bit dissonant. I am developing a plan to “go Yoda” soon.

But I will "try" to keep this brief. I only starting keeping track of where I spent every penny in Oct. 2007 & creating my spending plan (not a strict budget, but a bottom line - simple excel spreadsheet so I know where I stand on a daily basis). I quickly realized I make enough $ - I just was spending unconsciously - Great lesson #1. Could painlessly save $500 month the second month and now three months later I can see where it is possible to save 75% of my salary (I am working on getting my expenses to $1,000 a month) - even last month I thought $300 a month for food was inexpensive - but as I great deeper in this I see where the fat can be trimmed - will I be able to buy mostly organic? Maybe I will have to compromise my standards a bit :) One of the great ideas/feelings emerging from this way of life is the sense of freedom - maybe I do want to travel around the world, create a beautiful place in the country, whatever - but it's that possibility that makes buying (fill in the blank) not a choice I want to make.
