I'm a little confused about not including the Retire Early Homepage (if that is rehp). After all, I looked at the FIRECalc calculator (http://www.capn-bill.com/fire/) and it based on info from that site. Click on "how it works"￾ and scroll down, which is

[quote="wanderer"] WARNING: looong post I would like a bit more of that soft stuff here. OK, a lot more of it. It gets my juices flowing. I am very encouraged to see this. I was wondering if I had wandered :wink: into the mathematical retire early group. Nothing wrong with doing the math, ...
