#28: Want to retire early but hate budgeting? Dragon Gal never explicitly planned for early retirement or had a budget, but she realized that she could retire at 40. She retired early in 2017 from full time teaching, a few months after finding out about the FIRE movement. Dragon Gal and her husband Dragon Guy write about retiring early and living with cancer on their blog at thedragonsonFIRE.com.
