February 02, 2020 #22 - LeanFIRE - The Minimalist Way to Financial Independence
LeanFIRE is the minimalist approach to financial independence retire early. It’s saving just enough money that your minimum expenses are covered in retirement.
We all need to reach financial independence at some point in the future. This has become my personal mantra.
Whether your aim is to “retire” in your 40’s, 50’s or 60’s. There will be a point in time where you no longer desire or are capable of working for an income. It’s at this point where you need to have enough money saved up to live off of. https://www.firethefamily.com/home/what-is-leanfire

January 18, 2020 #20 - Cash Flowing Kayla's Master's Degree
In March of 2020, Kayla will begin her Master’s in Curriculum & Instruction through Western Governors University (WGU). The same school that I earned my MBA through in 2019.
The WGU Master’s in Curriculum and Education is PERFECT for our financial situation because we can cash flow the entire degree. This means that we’re able to pay for her Master’s degree 100% without student loan debt. We’re able to save enough of our income each month to simply pay for it outright. https://www.firethefamily.com/home/cash-flowing-a-masters-degree
