Bio Jessica is a wife, mother, and is documenting her family’s personal FI journey – paying off debt, investing money, and everything in between on Instagram where she’s known as @reachingfiw2kidsjourney. Lightning Round 1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know? I love to cook. And I don’t know if I told you, but I started my own business.  I’m starting a charcuterie cheese board business.   2. Who inspires you the most and why? My mother. She came to this country not knowing the language, not knowing the culture, and being a single mom. I know how much mothers give up for their kids but I knew she gave up her friends,  culture and the language that she was comfortable with, and she came here kicking ass, taking names.   3. What books are you reading now or have read and loved that you’d recommend? The Hating Game: A Novel by Sally Thorne   4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey? I would just say focus on you, focus on your family. What works for you might not work for others and vice versa. Stick to your guns, know what your goals are and have only one or two financial goals at a time.   Additional Resources 5 Tips for Moms to Save on Costumes This Halloween Tipped: The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals by Barbara Sloan Connect with Jess Instagram
