About us
We’re a couple in our early 30s from New Zealand, on a mission to achieve Financial Independence and Retire Early (FIRE).
Our story began in the corporate world, working traditional 9-to-5 jobs in New Zealand before heading to London for our Overseas Experience. Those years abroad were not only incredible for travel and growth — they also allowed us to save and build a strong financial foundation.
After returning home, we purchased a house in New Zealand, which we’re proud to say is now completely mortgage-free. Today, we’re balancing one salary job while growing a small business designed to give us greater flexibility and independence.
We’re also about to start a brand-new adventure — becoming parents. As we prepare to welcome our first child, our motivation for financial freedom has only grown stronger. We want to build a life with time, flexibility, and presence — not just for ourselves, but for our family.
Our goal is simple: reach a ~$2 million NZD portfolio alongside our freehold home. That’s our FIRE number — the point where we could comfortably live off our investments alone. But beyond the numbers, our real dream is to design a life where we can choose meaningful work, spend time on what matters, and raise our child in a world where time is the ultimate luxury.
