FIRE – juliedevivre.com by Julie B. Rose

I may WANT to work again, should my choices dictate. But probably, definitely, not in the way that a lot of people work — because they have to, because they're trapped in a debt cycle, because the lifestyle they've chosen comes with a never-ending financial responsibility, because they care about status and appearances and bigger and better and more. Not me.

Julie B. Rose

Julie has been solo traveling full-time since selling her house and most of her belongings in 2020. In late 2021, she quit her high-profile corporate remote job in social media to take a career break from traditional full-time employment — to regain her time, mental energy, and creativity — and to work on her upcoming memoir and fully enjoy her travels without constraints. An unmarried, child-free woman who refuses to settle, she's passionate about financial freedom, female empowerment, and rebelling against societal expectations to be true to yourself. Julie is currently living off savings and investments, and is mentoring clients who are interested in making their escapes too. 50 states, 31 countries and counting. 💖
