@LaMonicaBuzz I could retire right now if I moved out of NYC to a lower COL. Many of us probably could. Just sayin.' This lifestyle is a choice!

[Karen McGowan @metalkaren]

@LaMonicaBuzz FIRE does not = not working. It means having enough money to support yourself so you don't have to work. Many still choose to.

[Karen McGowan @metalkaren]

@LaMonicaBuzz I have 2 kids and am on track to retire before 50.
