Pretty interesting read in Forbes today. I came to the FI movement a little later in life (started at 32), but it's cool to hear how others are doing it young and it gives me hope I can finish up quickly as well.\n\nI'm not sure I could live in an apartment with slanted floors though. I'm too old for some things. Anyone else have thoughts? I wish it had more detail on what investing tactics the guy used."
