No doubt, and that was my point. I was saying that her marriage has made it easier for her to become financially independent because she wasn't faced with the full brunt of expenses such as mortage, insurance and groceries on a solitary $60k budget. I'd be much more impressed with the story if she was a single person who had achieved that success. I'm just pointing out that the article conveniently leaves that concept out. I'm not trying to rain on her parade and still think it's a good story and I do believe it's possible for a person to achieve financial independence on a single $60k salary, but this woman did not do that.
