Hey FImily!<\/p>\n

This week we are reporting in to let you know we were recently featured over on our friend Bob’s blog, TawCan, as part of his FIRE Canada Interview Series. As promised, we added this guest post not only to our Guest Appearances<\/a> page but we are also posting to let you know it’s there \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

If you are not familiar with TawCan, Bob is Taiwanese and Canadian (hence the name), living in Vancouver, and on his way for his family to reach FI shortly through dividend investing.\u00a0 We are on team index funds as our path to passive income so if you are interested in learning more about dividend investing, check out his site as he really goes into tons of details regarding what funds he holds and how his portfolio is doing.\u00a0 And don’t worry, we have Bob lined up to be part of our monthly FIRE interview series and the next guest interview is also a dividend investor too.<\/p>\n

Bob reached out to us this summer and slammed us (in a good way) with some great questions so please head on over to check it out if you’d like to learn more about our back story!\u00a0 And if you haven’t noticed, we have tweaked many of his questions to be included as part of our monthly FIRE interview series.\u00a0 He was the inspiration for us to start our monthly FIRE interview series – so you can thank him if you’ve found any value from our interview series so far. We are all about trying to showcase as many individuals in the FI space as possible here so we feel it’s our duty to also be on as many guest blog posts or podcasts as possible to share our story too so others can see how diversified this space really is.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, head on over to TawCan and check out our guest blog post on Being A Valuist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What did you think? Borrrrrrring? Or learn something new? Can any Canadians related to my costs of post-secondary education?<\/p>\n

What do I mean when I say we are valuists?\u00a0 I mean that we spend money on things that we value and bring us joy, and we don’t spend money on things we don’t value. We’ve figured out how to cut out the fluff, and so we do.<\/p>\n

To dig even further, here’s a list of some of the things we do value:<\/p>\n
