Our FIRE Movement & Debt Free Goals
All Things FIRE Movement We are on a mission for FIRE. Financial Independence Retire Early. We discuss many topics and techniques related to personal finance and financial independence. Our journey began because of debt and lack of time with each other. We found the FIRE movement and purchased our RV to pursue Geoarbitrage to achieve the basic FIRE principles of increasing your monthly income while decreasing your monthly expenses. With our RV, we can travel to many places, mostly rural to achieve Geoarbitrage. Geoarbitrage is the ability to maximize your earned income (usually a HCOL salary) and live and pay LCOL prices. This will allow us to achieve our dreams of financial independence before the age of 40.

The Definition of Insanity
“Money is just a tool. You’re either its Master or its Slave. When money has the power over you, that’s the path to slavery. When you use money, and don’t let money use you, that’s the path to freedom”. —Daniel Cerescu.
