TicTocLifeFrom Financial Independence to Retire Early at 35
TicTocLifeWelcome! Thanks for joining our story as we transition from two mid-thirties career-driven folks who reached FI at 33 to retire early at 35! We’re documenting our experience leaving full-time work, sorting out our financial needs, and our mistakes. All in real-time on this blog!
If you’re unfamiliar with FIRE, you should start with Financial Independence, Retire Early.
Take a look around our blog or find a list of all the articles we’ve written.
We hope to see you around more often,
Jenni & Chris

What's our two favorite posts we've written so far and why?
What? My favorite post is on changing from full-time to part-time work.
Why? This has been my favorite post so far because it helped me reflect on what is really happening right now in my life as I change from full-time to part-time work. Getting it all out seemed to make it real and gave me the kickstart I needed to complete the next thing on my to-do list.
What? My favorite post reflects the mission of my writing on TicTocLife, it’s on how comparison is the thief of joy.
Why? Core to why I write here is to use you to amplify the underlying values FIRE and TicTocLife represent—for you to be a positive comparison for those in your life. To lift up those around you and be a teacher. In that post, I wasn’t overstating the idea that it’s your superpower.
