In this episode, Amberly demonstrates just how quickly things can swing in your favor with a little financial knowledgeand hard work. Comfortably Coast FI, Amberly now works from home, manages her real estate portfolio on the side, and spearheads FinTalks—a segment of the FIRE community that discusses important finance topics each week.
