Here we are with Kristy & Bryce of Millennial Revolution at FI Chautauqua in Greece!
Just another beautiful day on a mountain with Millennial Revolution, at FI Chautauqua!

It was my second time attending FI Chautauqua, so I knew I’d be making connections with people and developing friendships that would last a lifetime. Even though I’m such an introvert!

Because my husband & I had a wonderful experience at the FI Chautauqua in the UK, we signed up for the FI Chautauqua in Greece, the following year!

Yes, GREECE! I was so excited we were going to Greece! I just knew it would be amazing!

Weight loss seems elusive at times.  The path to financial independence (FI) can also be unclear.  Is it possible that the effort to lose weight and the path to FI have other similarities?

I started writing this post from high above the earth, on board a flight home after my niece’s wedding.

Yes, the wedding that I wanted to lose 10 pounds for.

It’s a Blogiversary Celebration! I’m excited to share that Baby Boomer Super Saver has successfully reached the 6-month mark. This is significant, because most new bloggers don’t stick with blogging.
