I just retired at 50. it was not because of the money I made. It was because I saved and invested over the years. I was never really frugal or a spendthrift but I did save something every month. If you can have money taken out automatically from your pay check you will not even miss it! Marc I can tell you David is right! I just retired at 50. it was not because of the money I made.

Last year I put my wife's IRA Fidelity account in that stragety. We started with $234,622 and i just reballanced at $181,515 for a loss of 22.64%. Granted it's better than the S&P500 but when I was personally managing it we never had that%loss in any year. The lesson learned is to never put your investments on autopilot.

You and your Dad are not spendthifts. Spendthrifts spend money without thought. You are frugal, pennywise and thrifty! Thanks for the reminder of how little amounts saved can really add up!

I'd like to see a backtest of the strategy over the last 50 years or so. At least through one bull and bear market cycle.
