You'd be free before you hit 35. And that's if you literally never get a raise, never reduce your expenses, and completely ignoring 401k and IRA contributions, which would make a huge difference.

In fact, with 401k and IRA, not to mention mortgage interest write offs... You're looking at closer to 31/32 years old by the time you're free.
