Well the challenge is over! Here are the official results of “What % do you save?” It looks like on average people save 15% or more! That is astounding!!! Compared to the national average of 1% or less. Saving 10% or more is a key getting to retirement early and a lot of the poll respondents show that they realize this too.

Today I took the plunge and ordered Work Less, Live More: The Way to Semi-Retirement by Bob Clyatt. I bought it used on Amazon used books and I’ve been reading it every time I go to Borders or Barnes and Noble. As a person that is actively seeking to someday have the option of not having to work I thought this would be a great addition to my collection and give me some great advice. The book takes the perspective of perusing a semi-retirement, which is something I haven’t considered before.
