Four-week cohort-based course teaching you the strategies we used to embrace a Coast FI Lifestyle
We’ve been pursuing financial independence since 2018. In that time, we’ve come to understand 5 things:
We discovered Coast FI about six years ago. At the time, we were pursuing FI, and Jess felt trapped in a toxic job.
Coast FI – the point where you can stop saving and investing for retirement because your money will grow in the background – provided us with a feeling of freedom to start making changes.
We didn’t scale back to a full Coast FI Lifestyle where we only cover our actual costs right away.
Why?
Because transitioning from the “accumulation phase” to the “enjoyment phase” is difficult and SCARY!
Instead, we made a gradual transition that allowed us to work through our fears and build confidence along the way.
Jess took a career break to focus on her mental health and recovering from burnout. After six months, she went back to work part-time and loved it. Life improved dramatically when she worked less. Plus, we no longer craved the dopamine hit from unnecessary purchases or wasted money on escapism. Consequently, she never returned to full-time work.
Over the next five years, we gradually embraced a Coast FI lifestyle.
It began with Jess working part-time, then progressed to quitting that job to pursue entrepreneurship. We started allocating more funds toward experiences, like buying and building out our campervan and exploring the great outdoors for months at a time.
Finally, in 2023, Corey left his day job to join Jess in entrepreneurship. This was the day that we fully embraced a Coast FI lifestyle. We completely stopped saving and investing for retirement.
We haven’t saved or invested a single dollar since then, and guess what?
We’ve had difficult moments where our fears and scarcity mindset flare up. It’s hard, and that’s completely normal.
While it’s been uncomfortable and challenging, we’re learning how to work through the fears, be patient with our plans, focus on the inputs, and trust ourselves that we will adjust when needed.
And we’ve been more than okay! Our money continues to grow in the background, and we get to spend our time and energy doing what we love.
We want the same for you!
Coast with Confidence will teach you the exact strategies that we used to:
Coast with Confidence is a 4-week cohort-based course for people who have reached Coast FI (or are close to it) and are eager to make a change. This course includes everything you need to build confidence in your Coast FI plans.
In the program, we share the best tools and resources to help you gain confidence in your finances, explore your options, work through your fears, and create your Coast FI plan.
For the entire process, you’ll be supported by us and surrounded by a like-minded community with similar goals.
Over a month, your cohort of less than 20 people will meet 4 times (weekly) to discuss and apply the best Coast FI frameworks and tools. You’ll receive prework to prepare and get the most out of each session.
By the end of the program, you will understand your options and have greater confidence in your Coast FI plans. You’ll learn strategies to help you overcome the fears and limiting beliefs that will pop up along the way. You will build a like-minded community that will push you forward.
You will be ready to Coast with Confidence.
