Hey everyone!
Just sharing something exciting, I put in my notice at my w2 job and my last day will be next Friday.
My side hustle has been taking off, and I cant wait to spend more time on that. My husband is still working his W2, which will cover our expenses. Savings rate will drop to his 401k match + HSA.
We're about 68% to our Fi#, and past coastfi.
It doesn't feel real yet, but I am so excited for the next chapter.

Amazing! Congrats. This resonates as we're in a similar boat (quit my job last April) though I don't have a busting hustle so I may go back to W2 work at some point before full FI. Very motivating to see your excitement…most people are not quite sure if they should be happy for me 'not working' outside of FI circles. Love to see others out there breaking the mold!
With all these new tools floating around, I wanted to learn from other’s experiences to help limit the options. I currently am using Copilot Money on a two month trial basis. It’s nice, but it’s limited on future planning and goals related to anything but savings. What products have you used that you would recommend? Monarch? Origin? Etc. I have a full daily cash flow spreadsheet and net worth tracker, but I’d like to automate some of these models. Thanks all!
What book has influenced you the most in either FI money management, life style design or mental philosophy? Bonus points: share one idea that stuck with you.
1. Bad weather? I’m staying home if I want to. I decide where to go when. This week, that means I haven’t left the house since our weekend snowstorm. If I had to earn a paycheck to pay the bills, the decision isn’t mine anymore.
...or is everyone just waiting it out? Has anyone reached FI with school-aged kids, or adult kids still living at home? Or does everyone just wait until after they have moved out of the house? 😬 Other than an having an emergency fund, what are some things you're doing now to support/ensure their eventual self-sufficiency?
