About
Hopefully I can educate, enlighten and at the very least entertain you with my antics of reaching FIRE (financial independence retire early). I’ll provide useful links, websites, and podcasts that I’ve used to help me on my journey.
Financial freedom is possible even for a blue collar, twice divorced single mother like myself. This vehicle is for me to drive my desires to sharing what I know, what I don’t know and grasp a perspective on what it all means to me.
I am also learning this crazy world of blogging so stay with me if you dare.
