What would your life look like if you hit Coast FI tomorrow? In this light, personal episode, we let ourselves dream a little—and reflect on how our day-to-day lives might shift if we no longer had to save for the future.
We revisit the definition of Coast FI: that moment when your retirement savings are set, and future contributions aren’t necessary. You still work to cover today’s expenses, but now you can choose to earn less, work fewer hours, or be more intentional with your time.
We explore:
• How Coast FI would reshape our family rhythms and weekday routines
• Why things like cabbage slaw, early preschool pickups, and field trips matter so much
• How we’d invest more time into food, fitness, relationships, nature, and rest
• The tension between dreaming of FIRE and recognizing the joys that Coast FI could bring much sooner
This isn’t about luxury travel or early retirement—it’s about presence, connection, and savoring the ordinary joys that often get squeezed out by second jobs and side hustles.
If you’ve ever wondered what all this money work is for, this episode will help you reconnect with the quiet, meaningful parts of life that Coast FI can open up.
