Financial Freedom, One Trail at a Time

Documenting the real journey from corporate to campgrounds

This newsletter is for those who want to fill their calendars with more mountain peaks and family milestones, not back-to-back meeting invites. I share real numbers, real decisions, and real strategies I’m using right now to reach financial freedom.
​
No shortcuts, no hype, and no "guru" perspectives—just clear thinking, logical frameworks, honest progress, and reminders of why we’re doing this in the first place.

​

Less Desk. More Dirt.

Outdoor Financial Freedom is a free email newsletter (2x weekly) on financial freedom. Follow along as I share strategies for building wealth while working full-time and raising a family. Learn the systems that actually work for me and my family—budgeting, investing, and designing a life worth being financially independent for.

    We respect your privacy. Unsubscribe at any time.

    Hey there!
    ​

    I’m Ben.
    ​
    I work full-time in corporate America, raise a young family, and I’m in the middle of a big transition. In a few months, we’re moving into an Airstream full-time—both to lower our housing costs and to explore more of the U.S. together.
    ​

    I’ve always been responsible with money, but responsibility alone doesn’t create freedom. Intentional decisions do.
    ​

    This newsletter is where I document how I’m using simple financial math, high savings rates, and lifestyle design to build financial freedom—without waiting decades to start living.
    ​

    No hype. No shortcuts. Just real progress, one trail at a time.
    ​
    In best regards,
    Ben
