New Home in Hawaii

My Debt Free Journey and Road to Financial Independence

This is long chat about my debt free journey as a registered nurse, single income, family of 4 in a high cost of living state. I am in a slow FI (financial independence) road since I’m paying off debt. I would love to coast to FI and maybe retire early before 67 years old.
