Listen Later

Ever wondered what it's like to quit a big tech job without a Plan B and actually thrive? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Stephanie Ramos, who went from "LinkedIn famous" to living her best childfree life! Stephanie shares her candid experience leaving Amazon, and how having "F.U. money" allowed her to prioritize her well-being over a paycheck. We dive into her unique financial journey, from starting as a teacher to becoming a self-made millionaire, and how simplifying finances led to an amazing life filled with travel and purpose, not just luxury goods. Stephanie also opens up about the emotional shift from saving for safety to spending for joy, and why having a clear vision for your life is more important than hitting a magic number.

🔹(0:45) Stephanie's viral experience quitting Amazon and the backstory
