Show Notes

Doug chats with Kristen Knapp, a meteorologist from St. Louis, about her Financial Independence journey, how she made it to Coast FI, and the importance of the FI community.  Kristen shares how her frugal upbringing & early financial literacy set the stage for financial stability, details her transition from a full-time meteorology career to a part-time Coast FI lifestyle (including all of the life events that influenced her decision), and shares what she’s doing now to fill her time.  She also discusses her new venture, FI Friends Travel, where she plans trips tailored to the FI community.
