[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to front load your frugality. Go ultra frugal right now, but do recognize that being social and dating will cost a little bit of money. Women who want to marry and have kids and still be frugal enough to FIRE are very, very rare. Your time to save money without competing priorities or compromise is right now, so make the absolute most of it. Bear in mind that when planning-oriented women look at you they're thinking how old you'll be after engagement, marriage, first baby, and second baby. When they see a 33 year old man, they see a man who will be at least 38 when the second child is born. So you're 38 to them. I know you are 33, but this is how women think about this.[/quote]
