3 Tips on How to Eat Well and Stay Financially Independent
We’ve all been there. Friday night dinner. Do we stay home and eat the leftover rice and chicken, or do we hop to the nearest Oliver Garden and partake in their unlimited soup and salad menu (that’s still a thing, right?), or do we try that new recipe from Martha Stewart (also still a thing, right?) which involves 20 ingredients and 15 different spices?

Ruby’s Current Journey to Financial Independence
Ruby’s Current Journey To Financial Independence After working full time for 7+ years in Manila (and a couple of months in the UK), I found myself in the USA without knowing anybody. I mostly left the Philippines because I was getting tired of working without really having much to show for it. I was losing around 4 hours a day sitting in traffic on a commute to & from work, and seeing as the Philippines is a third world country, we are only being paid 80% less than our peers. The fact that I was losing time and money on a daily basis not being productive got me to be…

How, are we going to get there? Well, in this post, we try to provide the steps we are trying to take in order to reach Financial Independence.
