[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sincerely not trying to be rude but a woman who has 1m at 33 is going to view your plan as unambitious and unattractive 99% of the time. I think you're overstating how easy this will be. [/quote]

Why would this be the case for the majority of women? I’m a *man* who has over $1 million at age 33 (plus a condo), and I would never view a woman in a similar situation, who wanted to retire early, in a negative light—especially not as “unambitious,” given the amount of ambition and effort needed to get into that position in the first place.[/quote]

Because she doesn't want to live on a low budget just so you can putter around the house all day. That would annoy her. You're not ambitious if all you want to do is "save" (aka Mommy gave you in-kind) some money and then do nothing for the rest of your life.

How about you just find a job you enjoy, and then do it until you're 55 or so, and then your kids can have a nice childhood and not be socially isolated. [/quote]
