A retirement link

Found this on a quick google search:

retireearlyhomepage.com

Gonna poke around in it over the next few days to assess worth.


UPDATE: Strange cold is leaving me real tired all the time, so I haven't gone over the link in detail.

From what I see, there is an emphasis on saving. I see this in many books and links I've skimmed over. I've been discounting them as common sense items. But then I remembered that people don't save and routinly live outside of their means. So, I guess it is good.

Noticing an alignment with the ideas at the coffeehouse investor. Buy and hold methods. Starting to get interested in that method. Like the idea of not spending forever studying companies.

Observation: why is it that most investment methods today sound like cults? "A coffeehouse invester does this... A coffeehouse invester thinks that".

It shocks me the number of people I hear talking about crushing credit card debt as if it's just another part of life as normal. Many of them haven't discovered they can pay of 19% cards with 6% Lines of Credit too, although some would be incapable of not running up the LoC as well.

and that's a fact.

Many folks don't consider the ramifications of buying what amounts to be toys.

A treat now again is nice, but several a month?

Heh. I know what you mean. I've noticed the trend in saving everything, as well. I read a good book on a plane, awhile back. Mentioned alot about "Latte Factor". Take what you would have spent for the coffee and instead put that into an investment. And of course, save a little, pay a little down on credit, etc. Wish I could remember the author. Oh well.

Nice site, btw :-)
