Our Journey to FIRE: Balancing Financial Goals with Living Our Best Life Now

Welcome to our quarterly update, where we share our progress towards financial independence and how we're optimizing our lives for happiness along the way. We believe that money is a tool to fuel our true passions and create meaningful experiences. Join us as we reflect on our journey towards FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and share the joys of living intentionally, even before reaching our ultimate goal. Our FIRE Progress: Breaking It Down Last year, we decided to break our FIRE goal into smaller, manageable targets. We're excited to share that in January, we hit our first milestone: accumulating enough income-producing assets to generate $30-35k in annual retirement spending. Our next goal? Saving for a home purchase. T
