[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]

Sounds like an unambitious life to me. Actually it sounds like someone with mono-focus on one thing - hoarding money at a young age. And has no interests - at least none that are mentioned - outside of that. Also has no desire to show kids the world or give them lots of experiences, because they'll have to be so miserly.

I guess I don't really understand the point of this? If you make a TON of money young, and it gives you the opportunity to pursue the things you're deeply interested in - I get that. If you're hoarding money in order to - stop working and do what? - that seems incredibly claustrophobic. It's hard to imagine someone signing up for that. Just keep working, then you can have a much nicer life, with this great cushion you've already secured.[/quote]
