CoastFI Couple: Money, Relationships & Financial Independence

What does the journey to financial independence actually look like when you're navigating it together? CoastFI Couple follows Matt and Yana's real-life journey toward financial independence—from working, saving, investing, and figuring out their Coast FI number to finally reaching Coast FI and asking a whole new question: Now what? Along the way, they've shared the math, decisions, disagreements, experiments, and life changes that come with trying to build more freedom without waiting for traditional retirement. Now that they've officially reached Coast FI, the journey isn't over. It's shifting from How much do we need? to How much can we let go? From accumulating to spending. From maximizing income to deciding when a good job is no longer worth the time it costs. And from planning for freedom someday to figuring out how to actually use it. Expect candid conversations about Coast FI and Coast FIRE, personal finance, relationships and money, investing, intentional spending, career decisions, work optionality, and the emotional side of financial independence—with plenty of laughs and real-life detours along the way. Whether you're just discovering the FIRE movement, working toward Coast FI yourself, or wondering what happens once you get there, come follow the journey with us.
