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!

    Don’t settle. Just because you’ve “always wanted to live in a particular area” doesn’t mean you should accept an employers low ball offer, terrible hours, toxic work environment. The reality is we spend more time at work than we do outside of it. Employers are smart and will use a location as a selling point to put you in a terrible work situation.
