I completely agree with you – Financial Education is so important and would help a lot of kids succeed in life. All children should learn the basics and teaching our kids and setting an example for them is a priority or ours. You should check out our other article “Life Skills To Teach Our Children” (Under “Family”). We touch upon the top things that kids should learn before college. Thanks for reading!

Enjoyed reading this. Thanks for sharing!

Yes! So many people are wasteful with their money. Having a goal of Financial Independence forces us to be more mindful and intentional. Best of luck on your journey to FIRE!

We love to hear about other families who are working towards the same goals as us. Working smarter, learning as much as you can, and putting your financial knowledge to work is so important in order to reach a point of financial independence.
And yes, we are also okay being the “weird” ones!

I also don’t want any regrets when I die so I’m working smart to live the life me and my family deserve.

It’s true that being frugal is not the same as being poor, and there’s a special, uncomparable satisfaction in renouncing mindless consumerism and materialim. Who cares if we are weird in the Dave Ramsay sense of the word?

I hope you manage to reach your goal. Good luck!

Thanks for reading. We have been working really hard and focusing on our finances in order to reach this goal too! Hopefully we are both able to get there sooner rather than later.
