We are Ali and Alison Walker. We met in 2004, married in 2006, reached financial independence in 2017, and retired in 2018. The first thing we did after reaching FIRE (financial independence retire early) was to create a complete and total change from our career-focused lives. In November 2018 we left our Seattle life behind and made travel our new lifestyle. We enjoyed traveling full time and getting to know people in other places for two years. Then COVID-19 changed the world so we changed direction again. We decided to create a new home base for ourselves in Flagstaff Arizona near family. As of February 2021 we will be adjusting to a new post-FIRE routine that includes owning a home along with traveling internationally and within the USA as well.

I was already overdrafted on my checking account by the time my pay was deposited, I had no savings, and worst of all, I cashed out my most important financial asset - my retirement account. Thankfully, that was a while ago and a lot has changed. To keep me green and growing, I share stories of how I save more to explore.

Hey there! I’m Whitney. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m a financial coach who helps ambitious people manage their cash flow, pay off debt, work towards their goals, and live life on their own terms. I also help other financial coaches start, launch, and grow their coaching businesses while getting paid for their hard work.

My name is Revanche. I’m a married with dogs and child, money-managing, 30-something, professional, geek living in the Bay Area. We’re a dual income family in a HCOLA. I’ve been blogging about money as it relates to my family, career, hobbies and life since 2006.

Hi. I’m Mel. I’m a thirty something stage manager just trying to keep my bills paid and see the world. When I started this blog, I had no idea what I was doing with my money. I realize I’m pretty lucky. I had a tiny bit left to pay off on a school loan, no real credit card debt, a full time job and no big bills. So I had a little extra cash… and no idea what you do with it. This is my journey to suck at investing a little less. Because I’m scared of retiring to a cardboard box under an overpass in 40 years. And maybe I might want to buy a house in the next 5 years. And I would like to be financially prepared to be able to do that, too. This blog is really just the story of a girl with a stage management degree, trying to not starve to death.
