\n

My desire for all of you is that you may experience financial independence as you define it and that you may establish a workable plan this year toward its achievement.

Tim Stobbs\xa0is right in the middle of his financial independence plan. After stumbling across the idea of early retirement/financial independence, he was awakened to the possibility that an ordinary person could achieve it.\xa0

He set out a plan and started following it. He's now ahead of schedule!

\n

Along the way, he wrote a book\xa0to teach others how to accomplish the same goal.
