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!

    A really good support system. You’ll need people to remind you what time of day it is, what the actual day is, and ask you if you’ve remembered to eat regularly. Bonus points if they have the means to support you financially because, well..anesthesia school is expensive.

    Some people like to put an end date on reaching FIRE. Some people believe it’s a number they must reach. Some people get caught up in which FI path to take. Lastly, Far too many give up even before they get started. Why?

    Life takes you down many paths. Some you may choose & others chosen for you, but amazing all the same. Each path presents its challenges, big or small, easy or hard, long or short, and too often we worry about the destination we’re on that we overlook the most valuable part of life…The JOURNEY.
