Leaving Academia to Become a YouTuber
In this Slow FI Interview, I speak with Kristine Vike who, after graduating with her Ph.D. in Chemistry, decided to leave academia to become a YouTuber.
Feel like you need to achieve FI before you can make changes to improve your life?
Let’s bust that myth.
We can show you how.
I heard about Coast FI from the Fioneers in 2020, and it has completely changed my life. At the time, I was overworked and stressed out with a 50% savings rate on the path to FIRE.
After downloading their calculator and realizing I had already reached Coast FI, I was able to downshift my work, lean into flexibility and freedom now, and let compound interest do the heavy lifting for the next few decades.
Now, I’m self-employed and make enough money to cover my little family of three’s living expenses on less than 15 hours or work per week. I wouldn’t trade this flexible lifestyle for anything.- Anders Skagerberg, CFP

Our friends call us by our first names, Jess and Corey.
Since 2018, we’ve helped thousands of people design lives they truly love along the way to financial independence!
Our content, courses, and events help people:
Most importantly, we walk the talk. Between the two of us, we’ve worked in nonprofits, taken career breaks, worked part-time, started passion-based businesses, taken leaps to self-employment, and built out a campervan!
And… We’re less than 50% of the way to FI. We’re living proof that you don’t need to be FI to design a life you don’t want to retire from.

We are officially location independent! This post will walk you through what location independence is, types of location independence, and how to become location independent (before FI). Plus, we’ll share more about our 2023 travel plans!
2022 was a big year for us! We took some HUGE steps to design our life along the path to FI, including building out our van and Corey deciding to quit his job. In this post, we walk through the impact on our finances and long-term plans.
I’m excited about this Slow FI interview with Heidi Dusek (from Ordinary Sherpa) because she shows us that you can still live an adventurous life with kids. In fact, she and her husband are taking their 12, 10, and 7-year-olds on a gap year RV road trip in 2023.
I’m so excited for this new Slow FI interview with Anita. Earlier this year, Anita transitioned into a part-time role that had more meaning and purpose. Working part-time also allowed her to take care of herself and build a side business.
Big changes are afoot in the Fioneer household. Instead of taking an employer-sponsored sabbatical in 2023, Corey has decided to quit his job! In this post, we share more about what changed and why he decided to quit now, what made us feel financially prepared, and what we’ll be doing in 2023!
