Today, I have the absolute pleasure to be chatting to
Liz from her awesome blog and amazing book that she wrote, Meet the Frugal Woods!
Anyone who's been on the Captain FI blog knows that I'm a big fan of Liz and Nate, the Frugal Woods and they are literally living my dream!
They have an acreage in rural Vermont, which they call the
Frugalwoods. There, they're raising their two beautiful daughters and they participate in a whole bunch of wholesome things. They're always gardening, the kids are always in the garden, and it really just looks like an awesome lifestyle.
Liz and her husband started working towards FI in 2014, both 29 at the time. They had white collar office positions and thought they were dream jobs but they realised they didn't actually feel fulfilled. They were forced to re evaluate and started to talk about other ways that they could live their lives.
Something that they really wanted to do was live in
nature. They were in Boston and did not feel energised, they wanted to be in the woods.
So they bought a property in rural Vermont in 2016 and have never looked back.
Liz has since enjoyed freelance writing, working one on one with clients doing financial consultations, writing for the Frugalwoods blog and she published the book, Meet the Frugalwoods which has been extremely popular!
This was a bit of a selfish interview as I wanted as much info as possible on Liz's homestead life so I can make this a reality for myself!
