Anita Dhake – Early Retiree uses the Power of Thrift

Anita Dhake is part of the FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early) community who I found through the Mr. Money Mustache blog. I checked out her blog and was amazed by her story. Here are the cliff notes: 1) Went to law school because she was good a solving puzzles 2) decided very early that she could be "thrifty" and save enough money to 3) pay off her student loans 4) and then "retire"(!) in her 30's. Now she blogs, travels, meditates, MOVES!, and may have a part time job writing for some money. I can't wait to find out more!! :D
