If you're new here, this blog will give you the tools to become financially independent in 5 years. Here is how I did it and here is how I currently do it. The method is robust and replicable (no need to win the lottery, start a blogging business, or win at real estate), but not easy; much in the same way that a diet results in weight loss but is hard to follow persistently unless you set your mind to it. The key is to save 75%+ of your net income and invest it in income producing assets (bonds and dividend stocks). There is a "step-by-step" plan for how to get to 75% in the right side bar. I try not to be too trite, so if I cover a topic, you will probably not see it again for a very long time, thus you may want to read the older posts here and here.

We have finally moved into the RV. I will return to regular blogging hopefully sometime next week when I get around to installing net access (I’m writing this from the library parking lot ). If I get some time in between fixing the water pump, getting the fridge to run, reinventing indoor plumbing, and generally making the RV livable (currently full of boxes), I’ll try to write a few words about the process and publish them later.
