What level of lifestle are you trying to achieve and why?

How did you personally arrive at your particular goal/dream-circumstance for retiring early? There is an obvious trade-off between the quality of lifestyle you want to live and the cost of that lifestyle.

What keeps you from quitting now and living in a van down by the river?

What is your quality of lifestyle you are shooting for and why?

Edit: I spelled Lifestyle wrong in the gosh darn title. Heck.
