Driving Towards F.I.R.E.

In 2018 we broke up with our past life. Fed up with Interest payments, debt, student loans, etc we decided to make changes. Drastic changes. We set out on a mission for financial independence, bought a RV and traveled fulltime. We worked as nomadic healthcare professionals on the road. In 3 short years of fulltime RV and travel life, we successfully paid off more than $600,000 worth of debt, increased our net worth, changed our financial futures, and started a family. Today, we are still pursuing FI with a focus on retiring early and share our experiences as new parents, real estate investors, property managers, CRNA, Application Specialist, and Financial Coaches. Follow along on our journey!

    By default, RV’ers and Nomads do not conform to this world. Every RV’er younger than retirement age or older than has a story about a past life & their reason for choosing the RV lifestyle.

    Do not leave your grey tanks open. Some people will tell you it’s not a big deal. But it is. The grey tanks are filled by sinks and the shower. Here’s why it’s important to keep them closed...if left open food and other things can get stuck to the sides of the tank since it doesn’t have the chance to fill with water. This creates smells & other potential issues.
