The location isn’t the reason we host the Slow FI Retreat each year…
…but let’s be honest, it doesn’t hurt.
In just a couple of weeks, we’ll gather at Lake Tahoe for the 2025 Slow FI Retreat—connecting, learning, and reimagining what the path to financial independence can look like.

Two years ago, when I (Corey) stepped away from my job, we were forced to figure out health insurance on our own. Prior to leaving my job, it felt like this was a huge mystery. With no immediate plans to return to a traditional job, we knew we had to figure something else out. It took a bit of education and time, but we figured out a plan for us. And most importantly, health insurance hasn't prevented us from living life on our own terms.
My question for you: would you be interested in learning more about health insurance options for early retirement or even mini-retirement? (i.e. a future video)

Financial freedom is incremental. Leverage it along the journey to Financial Independence to pursue your dreams.
Welcome to The Fioneers. Our friends call us by our first names, Jess and Corey.
If you've been following our story, you know that we are pursuing FI (Financial Independence) and are looking to enjoy the journey along the way. We've made intentional choices to design our lives along our journey to financial independence. This means working for mission-driven nonprofit organizations, quitting toxic jobs, working part-time, launching a side business, converting that side business to full-time entrepreneurship, and also hitting the road in our newly converted Sprinter campervan.
Our goal is to share our experiences with you, and the experiences of others, so that you can design the life you love and gain financial freedom.
