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.
One key milestone is Coast FI

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 have not reached financial independence. We’re living proof that you don’t need to be FI to design a life you don’t want to retire from.

Is your company incentivizing you to stay (in a job you don’t really like) with a vesting and bonus schedule that makes it difficult to leave? In this post, we respond to a reader question about unlocking the golden handcuffs.
Ingrid retired early about eight years ago at the age of 43. As we got chatting as I was traveling through Albuquerque, she said, “I wish there had been more info about Slow FI when I was coming up.” Of course, I wanted to learn more. That conversation turned into this interview about what Ingrid has learned and what she would have done differently.
Earlier this year, Corey left traditional employment, and we are now reliant on variable income from our business. We’ve needed to shift the way that we manage our money and our mindset. This post shares how we’ve done that.
Megan has oriented her life around adventure and the freedom to experience the world. She has taken at least 6 weeks off to travel each year for the last 20 years! While she is now self-employed, earlier in her career she negotiated this time off with an employer for many years.
Since buying and building out our campervan in 2022, people consistently ask us, “How much does it actually cost to travel in a campervan?” Now that we just returned from a 15-week trip, we finally feel ready to answer this question.
I’m excited to share Kathy’s story. She recently scaled back work after reaching her Coast FI number. By reaching Coast FI, Kathy’s been able to work less and live more! I hope you are as inspired by her interview as I am.
