Weathering Financial Storms | Kristen Knapp | 114

After 28 years of playing the weather girl on TV, Kristen Knapp moved to part time work to follow her passion for travel planning for the financial independence (FI) community. She shares her fascinating backstory of growing up in poverty, dealing with childhood money trauma, becoming a successful broadcast meteorologist, and ultimately achieving FI. As someone who loves to travel, loves to plan travel, and loves spending time with the FI community, she thought why not combine those things? So, she launched a new venture called 'FI Friends Travel' which offers travel experiences that bring the FI Community together to see the world! Join us as Kristen takes us through how she made this unlikely transformation, even after getting a late start. 🔗Connect with us  Buy CUtFI a coffee  Record a message for CUtFI   Thank you to our sponsor:  DeleteMe: Your personal data is yours again. Hands-free subscription service that removes you from data broker sites.
