Welcome to EverydayFI, the podcast that explores the lives and stories of everyday people in the financial independence community. Today on the show I’m chatting with Stacy, a former special education administrator, about her journey to financial independence. Stacy shares her experiences of leaving her job to spend more time with her 18-month-old son and pursue personal interests, such as financial coaching focusing on families with children with disabilities. We discuss Stacy's recent travels to France, her early money memories, and her decision to achieve Coast FI. Stacy also emphasizes the importance of community and flexibility in the FI journey, and offers insights on the benefits of a 457 plan for educators. Tune in to hear us reflect on the value of designing a life that aligns with one's values and goals.
