Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate 1500 Days to Freedom. 1500 Days to Freedom didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
A blog about escaping the rat race through saving and investing, framed around a countdown to financial freedom.
A personal path to financial independence, laid out as a plan with a deadline.
The start-here post is a three-part manifesto. Part one explains how the blog began, part two sets out how to think if you want to retire early, and part three lays out the finances and goals behind the blog. The countdown is the frame: the goal is to retire at 43, within 1500 days.
Visit linkThe About page describes a software developer with a background in biology and chemistry, living in Colorado with a wife and young children. It traces a habit of saving that began in childhood, from paid yard chores to a grandmother who pressed the message at every visit.
Visit linkThe post describes a coworking space on Main Street in Longmont that the author invested in with friends. Its stated aim is community rather than margin, with a low membership price, private offices, meeting space, a full kitchen and an outdoor patio.
Visit linkThe blog is built around the countdown, so posts read as steps in a plan rather than standalone tips. The F.O.O.L.I.S.H project is a recurring series of updates, and the FI Collective has its own introduction post. Bucket list and anti-bucket posts sit alongside rant posts that push back on common early-retirement rules of thumb, including a withdrawal rule. Life in Longmont runs through the site as well, with posts about the local community, bike culture and the downtown.
