Our Mission

Designing FI follows the path of a 40-something engineer, wife and their 2 kids who said no to keeping up with the Joneses and said yes to intentional living and Financial Independence. Follow us on our path of self-improvement as we strive to be 1% better every day.

What does Financial Independence, i.e. FI, mean to us? It means utilizing a high savings rate, over 50% of our income, to build a net worth in which our investments can support our lifestyle. That principle has allowed us to retire at age 47 and enabled us to make a life’s work out of our passions.

We are not experts… We are simply sharing our experiences as we walk through them. We will make mistakes, be honest and continue to grow as we navigate life after reaching Financial Independence and retiring early.
