Tawcan - Financial Independence Retire Early Canada || Dividend & Index Investing || Save-Spend Balance || Money Mindset

Hey there, I'm Bob from Vancouver Canada. This is a personal finance blog where I chronicle my quest for joyful life and financial independence. In 2011, my wife and I had a financial epiphany and started our financial independence retire early (FIRE) journey. Since then, we have amassed a dividend portfolio that generates over $2,000 per month. I wanted to use this blog to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve financial independence as a single income family with two young kids while living in one of the most expensive cities in the world.Ready to join the financial independence journey?
