About

Hey! What’s up?! My name is Chris. I’ve started this blog, like so many others, to document, inspire, and possibly help educate others as they go throughout their journey to Financial Independence. It’s for myself, and for others… a 2fer.

I’m a late bloomer… probably in more ways than one, Doh! To the FI (Financial Independence), or the FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early) movement. I really didn’t start to understand how to effectively manage my finances, and start to build a plan until I was in my 40s. Yeah Brah!! I’m OLD!

I’m a divorced single dad to young adult kids. Hopefully, I can add some alternate perspectives to approaching financial independence, and retirement.

I’m wicked-passionate about real estate, and truly believe this can accelerate one’s path to FI.

I’ve recently retired from my role as an enterprise systems engineer for a technology company. I like to explore side hustles, passive income, and other ways to build freedom in our lives. I’m wicked-passionate about real estate, and truly believe this can accelerate one’s path to FI.
