  My parents gave me the book urlLink Your Money Or Your Life for my birthday. I've been reading it lately. I really like the idea of separating the idea of work from paid employment . Also, it is important to separate who you are from what you do . With getting married soon, it is probably a very good idea for us both to be more fiscally aware before we merge finances.
I know we both live within our means, but how much within our means? At what point could we become financially independent? I should start tracking this stuff. (Well, first I'm going to finish the book. Then, I'll go back and start working through the steps it contains. )
