Mt. Diablo is not far from Kai’s home, which he and his wife bought in 2013 via a short sale. Later on, he used a severance package to pay off the mortgage.<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is Kai, and I live in Concord, California. I’m 41 years old and married, with two kids, an 11 year-old daughter and 10 year-old son.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Len, I’m an engineer by training; I also have an MBA. Today I’m primarily a stay at home parent, but I’m currently doing community non-profit work too. My wife works in marketing for a cosmetics company in San Francisco. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after graduating to work for corporate America. <\/span>I left the corporate world in 2014 when the older one was in first grade and younger one was in Pre-K. We made good money, but we were paying other people to raise our kids and teach them different values than ours.<\/p>\n

Except for a very short period of my life, I’ve always been financially responsible. My wife and I both grew up very poor, which influenced our low-cost lifestyle. Thanks to that — and diligently saving — <\/span>I consider ourselves to be financially independent, although my wife plans on working for another year or two. Or so she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a spreadsheet to manage my finances<\/a>. The breakdown of my expenses is as follows:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a nice home, which we bought in 2013 via a short sale just after the market bottomed; I saw a deer and a bunny running outside this morning. Our home has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in <\/span>3168 square feet<\/span>. <\/span>The <\/span>property tax is currently <\/span>$9375 per year. The short sale was a roller coaster experience; the offer was made around Mother’s Day but we didn’t close the transaction until early November. <\/span><\/p>\n

While I was working, my salary paid the bills, while my wife’s went to the mortgage and extra payments. Eventually I got laid off, however — so I <\/span>took advantage of my severance package to retire the loan. <\/span><\/p>\n

We don’t drive too much. I have a 2007 Mazda5 with about 120,000 miles on it, and my wife drives a 2013 Honda Fit with 35,000 miles. We bought both of them new. Buying new cars<\/a> is the one expense that I disagree with my wife on, but I refuse to fall on my sword for this.<\/span><\/p>\n

For entertainment, I primarily focus on reading, staying active in the community, and playing Pokemon Go.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the years, we have saved and saved and saved. <\/span>The stock market has also been very kind during the past decade and our living expenses are very low. As a result, during that time we have been able to gradually accumulate about 50 times our annual expenses in pre- and post-tax retirement savings accounts.<\/p>\n

Closing Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n

My son is a coin collector. We just looked at his coin collection this morning under a microscope. I was showing him steps from Montecello and the Lincoln Memorial. On one of his field trips I chaperoned this year, he found a silver mercury dime on the sidewalk from 1908. It’s his favorite coin. <\/span><\/p>\n

When we go to the supermarket, he always looks at the Coinstar machines<\/a>. Apparently, they don’t take pre 1965 quarters and dimes — instead they get shunted back to the change return. He’s found maybe five silver coins in the change return in the past year. <\/span><\/p>\n

We were playing Pokemon Go last Sunday at the mall and he found over $5 in change from change returns. He was quite excited — the boy loves his coins!<\/span><\/p>\n
