Karen and John Yates Inspire How to Save Money


Listen Later

I travel the world with my husband and 2 kids!
But I wasn't always so bold... I spent 20 years as a pharmaceutical research chemist, moving steadily up the ladder, living the "American Grind" lifestyle before realizing that I wanted more out of life - that I wanted to spend more time with my husband and children. That I wanted stronger relationships with each of them. That I wanted to live a life of my own choosing.
Financially, we had been decimated by 4 job losses, several out- of-state moves, rental properties lost during the 2008 mortgage crisis, and most recently, a real-estate flip that turned into a flop. We were in no position to leave my job and travel, but it was a dream that we knew we had to pursue.
What followed was a story of perseverance and determination. We made it happen with the money that we had and boarded a plane 7 months later with one-way tickets.
Along the way, my husband and I realized that what had been missing throughout our 20 years of marriage was alignment -- with each other and with our goals. It was through real, heart- felt communication that we were able to find this alignment and make our dream a reality, despite our seemingly impossible short timeline and lack of any real savings.
In the process, we realized that it was our passion to share our holistic approach to finances with others -- not only to inspire them to go after their dreams, but also to make sure that they. https://hellofresh-ca.o5kg.net/c/2544961/791027/7893
