[Interview #012] Being Nomadic Through Financial Investments | Experiencing Time Scarcity

FI Guy and FI Girl, a husband and wife team sharing their journey to financial freedom and beyond through their blog ​FIHeroes.com​. They were both IT / Finance managers in fortune 500 companies with the shared goals of becoming financially independent and retiring early so they could travel the world. Last year (2019), before their 38th birthdays, they reached both of these goals and not only did they leave their corporate jobs but they also sold their home and just about everything in it, sold one of their two cars and traveled across the country to their new home base in Florida, USA.

Design your ideal life

There’s a lot more to life than work and it’s actually very important to stop and clearly define what you want in life in 5 years, 10 years and beyond. If you aren’t intentional with your path, you may end up making decisions by default and find yourself living someone else’s ideal life rather than one on your own terms. This is a process we had to go through ourselves before we embarked on our ideal nomadic life and is a process that we make an effort to revisit every year. In fact, we spent the entire New Year’s day going through the details of our vision for 2020 and beyond.

Pivoting as nomads & living on $20K a year in a time of crisis

No one saw this coming for 2020 and like many others, we had to throw our plans for the year out the window. Everyone is going through their unique challenges during this time. For us, as nomads, it’s dealing with the challenge of where to live and keeping our expenses low. Although it feels uneasy to not have a proper place to call home during this time, we do have flexibility working in our favor so we can explore a few options. We will review both our nomadic and financial plans and share how our nomadic lifestyle still gives us options even in such unprecedented times.
