March 15, 2021
Growing up I was told the story of an army captain that valued, above all, the liberty and freedom of his people. If battle was to be waged, he would be ready. Every part of his land had been fortified; from trenches, to walls, to perfectly armored soldiers keeping constant lookout. His cities were impenetrable. His enemies feared him, and he could not be defeated.

Who Are We?
This is me – Chris. I’m the founder of FinanciallyOptimized.com. I’m 34 years old. I’m the father of 4 energetic kids, husband to an amazing wife who put aside her career ambitions (for a time) in order to fill one of the most important responsibilities and hardest jobs ever – to be a stay at home mom (that means ONE income). And we are financially independent.
I get to wake up every day knowing that I don’t have to work. We’ve built the financial foundations that give me the freedom to make that decision. I still choose to “work” most days and play some days. Playing for me looks like fly fishing, trail running, hiking, or otherwise adventuring with my family.
My wife and I are just like most people, we started from zero. Yes, we chose to get college educations, but that wasn’t why we are where we are. It’s what we built over the last ten years since graduation that led us to where we are today. Our little choices we’ve made every day to optimize our finances made a huge difference over 10 years. No, it isn’t one simple strategy to financial freedom but many little decisions that make a huge impact over time. It will take hard work and sacrifice – but ANYONE CAN DO IT. You have the potential in your to be financially independent perhaps much sooner than you realize.
