I’ve been low key during this leave of absence and it has been rejuvenating. I’m exploring what my next move in life will be and after four weeks I can tell I still don’t know. Maybe that’s life… maybe there doesn’t have to be a plan for what’s next.

⁦I can relate to this @fimechanic⁩: “Before, I always had making money as one of my highest priorities. Now it’s time to reprioritize my life and make meaningful changes in my life, work, and relationships.” ❤️ alloptionsconsidered.com/202…

This day two years ago we became millionaires. The thought is still astonishing but with additional savings and the magic of compounding we are now worth $1.3M. That’s crazy to me.

Note to self: Always check passport processing timelines before submitting renewal. Now I’m on hold trying to upgrade to expedited processing.

The #FIRE journey has been interesting for me. Specifically, the transition from living how society tells me to live to living how I want to live. #NoMoreRules

🔥 Fires can be devastating, but achieving financial independence is empowering! Start your journey by building an emergency fund, paying off debts, and investing for long-term growth. Keep the flames of financial freedom burning brightly! 🔥💰 #FinancialIndependence #FIRE – at Boone, NC

A lesson I’ve learned as an adult is, I don’t have to live by the lessons I was taught as a child. #ChooseGrowth – at Boone, NC
