In early 2019, we stumbled upon the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement, which transformed our outlook on life. At that time, we were burdened with nearly CAD $60,000 in consumer debt and felt trapped in our conventional jobs. Determined to change our lives, we committed to a strict budget and worked tirelessly to pay off our debt. By the end of that year, we were debt-free, allowing us to redirect our finances towards investments. In April 2024, we sold our home in Toronto, and started traveling full-time.
