Heyo! I’m a 27 year old money and life “stuff” blogger.

My husband and I are the ultimate super savers in the pursuit of financial freedom.

We are the explorers and pursuers of meaning, passion, and fulfillment.

We embrace the virtues of frugality, car-free living and sharing strategic wealth building tales.
