Welcome to GatherFIRE, and thanks for introducing yourself! We hope that you enjoy our site as we try to come up with new features each month and give back to the FIRE community. We’re just getting the word out about our website to grow our user base and look forward to developing our community.
We’re glad you’re out of debt for the most part and can start saving more. Keep it up! With regard to your spending and budget, maybe some other users will have some ideas on how to track what you’re spending easily. Sometimes it’s hard with all the different types of bills, credit cards, etc… we use now and with your big family. Even more reason to get to early retirement so you can spend more time with them.
Thanks again for joining and starting the discussion!
