Gwen and I were inspired by Ep. 31 of FIRE Drill with Laura of I Heart Planners and decided to start our own Etsy printable businesses. We invited listeners to join us in a small mastermind as we built our businesses together and it's been awesome. What the group has accomplished in 6 weeks is really impressive! I'm writing this post in week 5 as we turn the corner into our last week. It's crazy thinking … [Read more...] about 14 Awesome Etsy Printable Shops from our Etsy Mastermind

It's time for another side hustle income report! I just published January's report, where I made $2,233, so this update will be short and sweet. Let's start with Etsy - $0 (but more coming!)

January 2018 Income Report – $2,233
I'm writing this income report for January three weeks into February. The truth is that I've been crazy busy so far this month. Gwen and I are recording twice as many episodes for FIRE Drill podcast, so we can get ahead and not record any episodes in March.

My day job is also … [Read more...] about January 2018 Income Report – $2,233

I'm considering applying for dual citizenship to open career opportunities in the EU and to hedge some of my future health care fears.

Tawcan responded that he … [Read more...] about Living Abroad Post FIRE – Visa Logistics and the Benefits of Dual Citizenship
The Poor Rich People I’ve Met on Wall Street
Today's guest post is from Prosperly Way - a young investment banker who saves over 50% of their take home pay and shares financial wisdom on their blog, ProsperlyWay.com. Working as an analyst on Wall Street is a tough job. It takes a certain type of person to suck up the 80+ hour weeks, deal with the impossibly unpredictable late nights, and eat at your desk with a plastic fork 3 meals a day. I started my … [Read more...] about The Poor Rich People I’ve Met on Wall Street
