Welcome to a Financially-Sound Pura Vida!

Hello and welcome to Crucial Wealth!

If you struggle with money but want to be better at it than the average American, you’re in the right place. We’re here to help you figure out this money thing so that you can build wealth along the way and live life on your own terms.

Personal finance might not be something that you learned in school.

Maybe your parents weren’t equipped to teach you about it. If they were new to this country, like ours, they probably had to work hard just to put food on the table and stay on top of the bills, and that was their level of financial stability.

Personal finance to them might have been making sure that the bills were getting paid and that they’d save some money to build or buy their casita.

Maybe you’re not in the best of financial situations.

Is debt keeping you from getting ahead?

Well, it’s not too late to get your financial life in order!

You’ll start building wealth as soon as you get your spending below your income level. There’s no need to stop there though.

We want you to become financially independent so that you can enjoy life beyond your wildest dreams. And we can help you lead a great life by showing you how simple it is for you to become wealthy by following the FI recipe.

If you’re willing to defy what you know about money and put in the discipline that it takes to become financially independent, you can make it happen.

It all starts with a change of mindset and doing things differently on a daily basis. It won’t happen overnight but, like a snowball effect, your financial picture will get better than you ever imagined.

About our journey

Just to tell you a bit about our journey, we are a couple with a child in our mid 30’s and 40’s, that retired in July 2019.

At the beginning of the last decade, I decided to change my life around and we also realized that if we were to invest as much as we could, instead of following the typical American lifestyle, we could retire early from corporate.

We were able to retire early because we reached financial independence. We have enough investments to support our lifestyle forever.

Our aim with this blog is to help you build wealth by adopting simple daily habits that lead to financial independence.

We’ll teach you the process and provide examples of people like you, who are accumulating, and others who have beaten the odds and became wealthier and happier as a result.

At Crucial Wealth, we share with you money lessons that helped us become financially independent and set us on the path to early retirement.
