Navigating the path to financial independence can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re supporting a family. I’m a 28-year-old American, married to my 28-year-old husband, and we have a young child. My spouse stays home, and I bring in $60,500 a year, with no debts holding us back. We’re eager to make smart moves toward FIRE, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Should we focus on maximizing our savings rate, or look into investment options first? I’d love to hear from others who have started this journey with a single income and a family to support. What first steps did you take, and what would you do differently? Let’s share our experiences and help each other grow! #CareerAdvice #FinancialIndependence #WorkLife #FIREJourney #FamilyFinance #JobCareer
