Working Part-Time: Pros and Cons
Recently, a reader reached out and asked if I could write a post about the pros and cons of working part-time! My first step was to crowd-source and pros and cons and work through each consideration.
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

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.

When asked why they are pursuing FI, many people answer that they want to travel more. Many of these same people also believe they need to reach FI and retire early before they can do these things. It’s time to bust this myth. That’s why I invited Cris Gawlik, who has been a digital nomad since 2019 to join me for a Slow FI interview.
Sometimes, it feels like day-to-day progress is slow. I love taking time to reflect because it helps me realize how far we’ve come. There are so many things we learned and accomplished in our fourth year pursuing FI!
Just over a year ago, Diania dropped the bomb that she had decided to quit her corporate job. Her intention was to experiment with a year of “fun-employment.” I’m excited to bring her back for a Slow FI interview about what she learned in her first year of “fun-employment.”
Lately, I’ve seen people trying to demonize quiet quitting. Quit quitting simply means that you are setting boundaries and not constantly going above and beyond your role. This post will help you figure out what small, quiet quits you can make to improve your job and life without burning bridges.
We just took our first big trip in our newly converted campervan! We spend a lovely three weeks up in the Maritimes on the Atlantic Coast of Canada. We had a blast, and we want to share with you the best things to do and see. AND, as always, we’ll share what we’d skip if were to do it again.
