Today, we dive into some of the biggest questions our community has about money, relationships, and raising kids on the path to financial independence.

Matt and Yana from CoastFI Couple share their honest experience with shifting from a strict save-only mindset to learning how to enjoy their money after reaching Coast FI.

We talk about how even couples who agree on big-picture goals can still face daily money disagreements — and the tools and conversations that help keep things on track.

Plus, we explore how to teach kids healthy money values without passing on anxiety or scarcity.

Whether you’re struggling to spend guilt-free or want to raise money-smart kids, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement.
