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!

    It’s important to us to give our home another hundred years of life, so making sure the bones stay solid and preserving what can be preserved is a moral obligation to those who built this home 116 years ago and for those who made memories in this home before us.

    We know that patience and diligence is key for renovations, so we’ll continue to keep our foot on the gas, even if we aren’t going anywhere…yet. We know that once it starts, we better buckle up because it will go 0 to 100 REAL QUICK.
