    • FIRE might mean something else to others...to some of our family members, we retired 'early' by Husband bailing at 62. (It was one of the smartest things we've ever done, by the way.) I keep trying to persuade other family members to do the same, even if it means they must barely survive on a paltry $45,000/yr or so...but am not having much success. Yet. So...are you advocating NOT buying quality goods from thrift stores? Shopping at discount and remainder stores? I'd much rather get imported Japanese udon noodles from Amazon's Warehouse Deals, and pay 50% less, then be a snob and insist on paying full price. Ditto for the cashmere sweaters I find now and then at thrift shops. I'll keep saving wherever I can on quality items because 1) they last a lot longer, 2)I prefer them now to the 'cheap stuff' -- coffee's a good example, and 3)I can use that money saved for something else. But it's not because I HAVE to do it. Because I don't. Just sayin.'
