That truly is the key to big savings. Maintain the same lifestyle while obtaining those raises throughout the years. Make sure to put all excess income into some form of savings/investments.

Instead of ratcheting up spending, keep it at the level one had before becoming employed -- i.e. continue to live like a student for 2-3 years so can put aside 50%-80% of income. Keep taking the bus and riding the bike. Stay in the rooming house or with parents. One can get a head start on early retirement/ financial freedom with their first job.

I've been reading PF books for over two years now so I would estimate I've finished reading over 50 books now. My problem is I can't review them as fast as I read them. I've always got other stories to tell and research to finish. I'll try to update my resource page again (hopefully this week) to include some of the better ones. CD FT,

What got me about this book was the suggestion to do it all in fixed income products (hence the low rate of return). I would not be comfortable with that. Actually I have yet to read a Canadian PF book that covers everything about early retirement planning. Mmm, perhaps I should write my own book when I retire around 45. CD FT,
