Page, a "late starter" to Financial Independence (FI), shares her journey from a negative net worth at age 44 to aiming for FI by 2025, all while living in Los Angeles. She emphasizes that achieving FI is possible even with an "ordinary income" and despite living in a high cost of living area.
“She was living in LA, making ordinary income, started her FI journey in her mid-40s, carrying student loans, and she showed us that there was another way to think about it.”
“Page, who's in our who's in our community, actually reached out to us almost the next day to say, "Guys, that is a limiting belief, and you just let it slide, didn't question it, and I'm calling you out on it."”
“And Page lives in a high cost of living area, and she's a late starter to FI, and she's just rocking this goal.”
