About

 Hey there, world! I'm J2FI, or just J2 for short. I live in Montreal, so some things I talk about may not be entirely relevant to you, but you may be able to transfer some of the ideas into your life elsewhere.

Fresh out of university at 22, I'm on a mission to achieve financial independence. I currently make $50,000 a year and am facing student loans. I'm here to prove that anyone can build financial freedom, no matter their net worth.

Join me on this exciting journey as I dive into the realms of FIRE, investing, and starting a side hustle/business. Please note, I'm not a financial advisor; this blog is my personal showcase of my journey and learning experiences. I expect to make mistakes along the way, but I'm committed to sharing insights, updates, and the lessons I have learned at least once a month.

I'll post about the steps I'm taking to saving, managing, and accumulating more money, while still trying to maintain a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.

Follow along for practical tips, and real-talk about the pursuit of financial independence. Let's navigate this path together, learn from my mistakes, and empower each other toward a financially free future!
