Hey! I’m Julie.

I live in the Pacific Northwest although I’m an East Coast person at heart.  I’m obsessed with my career, good *iced* coffee, and writing about personal finance.

millennial boss

I started this site just under 5 years ago as a way to track my debt payoff.

I was in $25,000 of student loan debt from a liberal arts degree and then married someone who was in $35,000 of student loan debt.  The combined amount of debt sounded insurmountable, especially with our current salaries.

One day while searching “how to pay off student loans” on Google I found a personal finance blogger who inspired me to take action.  My husband, then boyfriend at the time, was on board too.  We set a goal to be debt free by the time we got married.

We really got serious by:

  • selling our car
  • moving for a career opportunity
  • and side hustling on Craigslist & this blog

It worked! I’ve since paid off my student loans and am now debt-free!

Now that we’re debt free, our new goals are to increase our savings and build multiple streams of income.

Update 5 years later: Now we’re in our thirties, married and pursuing financial independence with a kid!

I was able to leave my corporate job to run my own business. I make over $1,000 per month selling printables on Etsy.

I also have my own business, Gold City Ventures.

More About Me

I have a passion for doing luxurious things cheaply.

I’ve hacked my wedding Game of Thrones style, hacked my engagement ring, earned free travel for trips around the world, and hacked my savings account so that I can reach financial independence when I’m young.

— catch a theme?  I’m a huge optimizer!

Here are a few other facts about me:

  • I am a dabbler and always have multiple side hustles running at once. Most recently, I became an Etsy seller. I share my side income reports with a detailed breakdown on a monthly basis. Check out my income reports.
  • I now teach others how to sell printables, start profitable blogs, and freelance at goldcityventures.com.
  • I’m a 100 percent supporter of more women working in tech. It’s the best career field (IMO) and I love it!
  • I love my dog and can’t decide whether I want to travel indefinitely or be a homebody.  Lately, I’m leaning towards the homebody path although we sold our dream house and I’m slowly getting over it.
  • I’m obsessed with living in an R.V., tiny house, or a van but would never actually do it (I think).
  • I have a podcast! Check out firedrillpodcast.com.
