Today we need to do some Mathing.

even if Math isn’t your strong suit.

It most certainly isn’t mine — I was an English major and married Adam so I could put math away for good.

Or so I thought.

Today’s encore episode is about figuring out your FIRE number — your financial independence and retirement age number.

You’ve got to know what you’re working towards — otherwise you’ll just be on a perpetual hamster wheel.

I get asked, sometimes, what is the best gift to give to children —

and this is the answer:

Knowing that you are going to be all set in your retirement and they don’t have to worry about you.

REALLY.

not a trip to Disney.

or Europe.

or a paid for college “experience” —

but instead, give them the ability to learn how to Adult and take care of themselves and their future so they don’t need to worry about taking care of you.

Overview

I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.

I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.

I know because I’m a mom too.

It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.
