The FIRE method might be worth a summary post in the future; I’ve found their message board full of useful and interesting information.

This Post is interest, but it appears to be a little naif. In the world today, nobody has children at a young age, so it´s difficult to them (the kids), to leave the nest when I get 40. e.g., I have my first kid at 30, I want to have more – one or two – and I expect them to leave when I get more o less fifty. Please, understand, I´m talking about this: My kids to be completely financialy free from me. Do you understand?
Sorry for my English, I´m from Argentina.
