Hello! πŸ’–

 

lily2

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.

It’s a wondrous, mad dash towards the freedom to not just “escape” work forever but to have the full opportunity to do something fueled by passion, not need.

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