Modern FImily

Helping other families and individuals reach financial independence

We are a family of four who reached Financial Independence in our early 30s.

No we did not inherit any money. Yes we both had student loan debt to pay off. No we do not pay a financial advisor to invest for us. Yes we both finished school right as the Great Recession hit. No we did not live in our parents basement for years. Yes we have minimalist ideals. No we do not feel deprived in any sense. Yes this took a lot of reading and research to figure out.

We want to share what we’ve learned with you through this blog.
