We have just created a Facebook group for families We have just created a Facebook group for families like us who are also on the FIRE journey! We have been part of a few different FIRE communities over the years, but noticed that there’s not any specifically for families. We would love to chat with other families who are interested in or are already on their way to FIRE so we decided to create a group 😊

We’d love you to join, the link to our group is in our profile 👆 We’d love to see you there!

Blessing time. Our second last dinner together in Blessing time. Our second last dinner together in Europe after 5 weeks travel. Over dinner we shared what we appreciated about each other, we think it’s important and empowering to focus on the positives 🤩. Our eldest son took it seriously and led by example with some wonderful words ❤️. Trip of our lives and one for the memory dividends.

This was my (Cam) favourite spot in Europe when I was 20yo backpacking and luckily enough our whole family loves it too 🥰. What else does one need apart from spectacular mountains, rivers (freezing!) and lakes. Still loved the quality beer & chocolate ($1 - 500ml Beers).

Our dream holiday home was created on a family camping trip in 2010. We still pinch ourselves sometimes. We share this to encourage others not be afraid to think BIG to achieve your dream future life. This is how we did it in latest blog post (link in our bio)

While we have been going on overseas holidays and While we have been going on overseas holidays and planning more, it's great to see a nice round 15.00% total return in the last year!
⠀
Who else loves 'boring' ETFs and LICs that you don't need to watch or keep your eye on market data? 🙋‍♀️

*edit* Thanks for DMs. A few have asked if this is usual - no I wouldn’t expect it long term. However checking our history we found our Networth has increased a whooping 21%pa over the last 4 years. We explain more and go back 13 years to see amazing returns. See more here if interested:
