Can you imagine negotiating a virtual work arrangement with your employer that allows you to move across the country & take a 2 month sabbatical? That’s exactly what this week’s guest Diania Merriam did. Diania was able to move from NYC to Cincinnati and travelled to Spain for 2 months while keeping her NYC job . 

On the podcast, Diania shares how she paid off $30,000 in debt in 11 months, and reached the milestone of Coast FI (financial independence). Diania brings a rich and bold energy this week that explains how she was able to achieve her success and talks about the conference she created, EconoMe which allows participants to come together and talk all things Financial Independence.

Diania reminds us that personal finance is personal and your journey is customizable. Tune in this week to hear more about what she calls fi-flexibility and how it can support you on your journey.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How Diania landed her first job post college
