Pumpkin spice season came early this year! Even though it’s still 100+ degrees here, I decided to treat myself. I was reminded of the “Latte Factor” as I shelled out over $5 for my pumpkin cream cold brew, and momentarily wondered… should you give up your coffee habit to reach financial independence?

Ever have a conversation with someone that ended up foreshadowing a life changing event? I have. It was during a meeting with my boss just before starting maternity leave.

Hi! I'm Mrs. RFL. We're a family of 3 trying to live a rich frugal life on our way to financial independence and early retirement ("FIRE"). I retired in early 2020, at age 38, to help our family achieve the balance we desperately needed. Even though we hadn't reached our end goal, making this change allowed us to take advantage of the financial freedom we'd already earned to begin building a happier, healthier and more meaningful life. This decision didn't slow down our journey as much as expected. We reached financial independence in January 2022! Rich Frugal Life follows our FIRE journey and shares everything we learn (or screw up) along the way.
