I’m reading your Substack from the beginning, and I really love this. We are a sailing family and early on (before kids!) I tracked every cent and then shared our budget in a blog cuz I was so frustrated by how few “real” sources of money info there were.
Two kids later, we still spend most of our time sailing and exploring with our kiddos, but I’ve lost the budget & tracking habit, and had kind of forgotten about my FIRE dreams (I work remotely so I’ve always just worked while we sailed… through the Caribbean, Panama, Central America, etc)… long way of saying all of this is SO inspiring and I’m really thankful for all that you’re sharing!!
I'm so honored haha I feel like I just woke up to a new friend! A sailing family is amazing!!! What made you choose sailing? What do you do for remote work? (Feel free to send me a message on substack instead, I imagine as I go through your comments on my diary that I'll have all kinds of questions for you too haha)
And yes, I relate to the lack of transparency in finance. Everyone is pushing their strategy but nobody is willing to pull back the curtains!
