Coast FIRE is when you've front-loaded enough investments to simply coast to retirement without any further contributions. But with this stock market downturn as of late, is the idea of Coast FIRE dead? We'll share how our portfolio is holding up and discuss what to do to keep our Coast FIRE dreams alive.

Second, we’re back with our Net Worth Win segment. This month, we’re featuring Michelle Onaka from Intentional Money Life. Michelle has grown her net worth to $900k by 37 years old. We’ll learn how she did it and how this helps her family travel more.

Last, my son Calvin will be reading the month's review and I’ll quiz him with some money questions. We're talking about recessions, investing, and going on our first cruise!
