Here are some online resources for connecting to other early and semi-retirees, long term investors and kindred spirits on the path to financial independence.

Meet Billy & Akaisha Kaderli -- financially independent at 38 and traveling the world. Check out their new CD-Book on Early Retirement.  (Billy and Akaisha are profiled in Work Less, Live More.) Humberto Cruz writes a popular syndicated weekly column on personal finance, as an early semi-retiree himself. Follow along with RV explorers George and Tioga as they travel North America and live the vagabonder's lifestyle. Will your savings support the lifestyle you want in early retirement?  Let FIRECalc help you decide. Scott Burns is one columnist who understands the kind of investing that long term investors and early retirees need. Tom Orecchio helped prepare the financial analysis and the recommended portfolios in the book, and can help you invest in DFA Funds if you feel you need them. Keith Marbach of Zunna.com  helped me run long term safe withdrawal rate studies for Chapter 4 of the book, and helped model the 95% Rule first presented there. Here's a blog about the long path to ER -- a 29-year old's daily decisions to Fire by 40.
