First Steps

This blog will serve to document my financial independence journey from age 40 to 50.  I plan to work from a paycheck to paycheck existence, to a $5000 per month cash flow/passive income from investments.

I will do this in the following ways:

1) Live beneath my means
2) Invest in sound real estate and business opportunities
3) Only purchase products, investments, and businesses that align with my values
4) Ensure that this process allows for family balance

The reasons I am doing this are:

1) To spend the most quality time with my family
2) To open up time for my hobbies, music, cooking, reading, travel and exploring tea
3) To live life to the fullest
4) To model the possibilities for other moms

So, with my seven year old outside playing, shall we begin?
