    Retirement: Slow-Lane Methods, or Fastlane Big Time?

    Hmm. Either way, I'd have to do research at what's available locally before I just throw money at a broker. Thanks, MJ.

    Chronic Back Pain

    Thanks, man. Well appreciated. Especially since I woke up this morning with the right side of my lower-back screaming.

    Retirement: Slow-Lane Methods, or Fastlane Big Time?

    It's so tiny, I barely have any overhead apart from utilities. I'm still shoring up the Day Job/Money Feeder situation, so things are rocky at the moment. Rocky, but I'm chugging along. Just that i found myself mentally looking at how my mother's life turned out retirement-wise and, I'm not...

    Retirement: Slow-Lane Methods, or Fastlane Big Time?

    Yea, I can see with this too. I see both the ups and downs, but I guess I can't shut the Girl Guides training off. "Be prepared". Aye-aye, Captain!

    Retirement: Slow-Lane Methods, or Fastlane Big Time?

    Ok, cool. I understand why that method makes sense in terms of Fastlane goals. Especially given the slippety-slide of the dollar, inflation would knock me on my tush before I'm eligible to draw from it in my 'retired' years. I should also keep adding money into an emergency fund, though, right?

    Retirement: Slow-Lane Methods, or Fastlane Big Time?

    For those who are currently Slowlaners like myself and working towards your Fastlane goals, what approach have you taken regarding retirement? I'm currently working as an illustrator/graphic designer and looking to pick up some side work to earn some extra USD (tl;dr on the Jamaican dollar -...

    Chronic Back Pain

    HEALTH 
    I have a pinched nerve, and there are certain times where sitting up straight is unbearably painful. I had to get physiotherapy two years ago when the pain was so terrible that it forced me to stop working. Physio has helped a great deal, but it's not an ideal or cost-effective long term plan...

    I am too comfortable

    MINDSET 
    Dude, you want pressure? 'Get uncomfortable' motivation? Imagine yourself as your parents' living, breathing retirement plan. Oh, and you have to make sure YOUR ducks are in a row as well as theirs. All in a heaping wreck of an economy. :) (I smile to keep from crying).

    Idea for a website? Want to learn how code? look here first!

    IDEA 
    I have knowledge with HTML and CSS, but trust and believe that I would happily hand over building my portfolio site to a professional if I had the cash to spare. I loved teaching myself back in high school and picking up new things now, but I would have hired someone else if I could. As soon as...

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    Having a mind that won't shut up when you need to sleep is the WORST. :banghead:

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    Oh yea, another thing - if I'm not in bed and drawing snores before 1 a.m., then it's no sleep for me. Try to be in bed by the absolute latest midnight, especially if you have to (or aim to) be an early-riser. Let my pain be your lesson.

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    I had the opposite problem last night - an encounter with an obnoxious blow-hard left me very upset and having panic attacks when I went to bed. I didn't sleep a wink. If I were in my early 20s, I would have been dead on my feet today. I'm grateful to see this thread and for all these tips...

    Good morning! I saw in one of your posts that you're also an artist. If you don't mind me asking, what's your art area? I'm an illustrator and graphic designer, though I'm more specialized (that dreaded word!) in illustration.

    What was your biggest business and life lesson in 2014?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Business: Stop wasting time, and don't be afraid to make a mess. I'm still working on that, by the way. Life (as well as business): Learning is a never ending process. Focus on what will improve your life and get you ahead the most. Most important of all, apply that knowledge quickly. Hiring...

    Every feel like giving up?

    MINDSET 
    I'm pretty much nodding off as I clicked this thread, but this feels like something I need. I'm at a bit of a low-point right now, so I'll read it in the morning when I'm fresher. (By the way, if there are threads for people who are battling health issues while building their fastlane vehicle...

    Language learners thread

    HOT! 
    Just saw this thread. Nice to see all these language-learners here on TFLF. After dry and torturous experiences while studying Spanish in prep (think private elementary) and high school, I thought I was just a dunce when it came to learning a second language. Then I did Basic Japanese as a...

    Interviewing Attorneys and Accountants - What to Ask?

    Ha! I struck gold. I called up my old auditing boss (long story) for a referral to an accountant, and she offered to help me with the income/tax filing (YAY!). Please excuse me while I happy-dance.

    Interviewing Attorneys and Accountants - What to Ask?

    Thanks for the advice. It's true that I likely do not need a lawyer right now, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask just in case I run into a situation where I require one. You said you use the same accountant as your father. If you don't mind me prying into your business, do you use them to...
