Welcome to EverydayFI, where we explore the lives of everyday people pursuing financial independence. I'm your host, Meghan Combs, and I'm here to show you that you don't need a million dollar book deal or famous blog to reach FI early. By talking with real humans you'll see how you can forge your own path to financial freedom, the everyday way.

We're back with part two of Amanda's story where we start by diving into how she has adjusted to life with her newborn son, including transitioning back to work and navigating the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance. Amanda discusses her desire for a part-time schedule to enhance her presence and enjoyment of these early years of parenthood. We also explore financial strategies including achieving liquidity, building emergency funds, and planning for a 'barista FIRE' lifestyle. Amanda talks about practical steps she and her wife are taking, like considering a nanny share, and the unexpected complexities of managing work-from-home life with a baby. Last up, we dive into Amanda's passion for writing and her recent accomplishment of self-publishing a collection of essays on transitional life moments. And make sure to stay til the very end, where Amanda shares a unique practice that has positively impacted her life. Tune in to hear Amanda's full story.
