About Us

Who We Are

Our names are Scout & The Squire and we’re just a couple of long-time friends from the Pacific Northwest who have an affinity for all-things personal finance, specifically Financial Independence.  We’ve both been saving & investing for many years and although we’re in different stages of our financial journeys, we’ve always been there to help each other think, learn, grow, and progress.

(For those who are interested in us individually, you can learn even More About Us)

Why We’re Here

Both of us started our journeys to Financial Independence long ago, so needless to say we’ve experienced a lot and learned numerous lessons over the years about money.  We’re hoping to share some of that knowledge with others, along with our own personal experiences, to help those on the same financial journey.  We don’t believe this is a zero-sum game (where one side needs to lose in order for the other side to gain) – we are all on this path together.

Secondarily, we’d like to build a community of individuals that can come together and talk openly about money & personal finance.  We know that the topic of money is rarely discussed in public, either because it’s considered taboo or because not many people really care about it.  Like us, if you want a place where other like-minded people can gather and talk freely about money, then you’ve come to the right spot – our goal is to harbor and encourage this environment.

Why Should You Care

We are not financial experts or professionals; we are everyday folks that are self-educated when it comes to money, personal finance, and investing.  Our main goal is to help YOU succeed and we’ll be doing this by providing our OWN unbiased thoughts & opinions and drawing from our OWN personal experiences; whenever possible we’ll refer you to other professional & technical resources (books, blogs, podcasts, etc), so that you can make your own informed decisions.  

All of us have unique voices and we encourage everyone to seek others who speak to them.  We hope that one or both of us can be someone you connect with or can relate to whether it’s due to our personality, shared experiences, etc.

We hope that you’ll join our community and that we’ll have the privilege of helping you on your EPIC FINANCIAL JOURNEY…
