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!

    More Than Just A RV

    July 5, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned, sometimes life goes according to the plan, sometimes life takes you down paths that didn’t seem possible, sometimes your dreams do come true, & sometimes you have to believe that things happen for a reason.
