Hi, I’m Jackson Hill—husband, dad of two, lifelong numbers nerd, and a guy currently chasing financial independence with the same intensity my kids chase YouTube stardom.

By day, I work in finance here in Atlanta, GA. By night, I’m usually calculating how many years early I could retire if I finally stop buying supplements I don’t actually need. (Spoiler: still working on it.)

My journey toward Financial Independence, Early Retirement (FIRE) started the same way many of these stories do: I realized I was spending more time inside spreadsheets at work than with the people who actually matter—my family. And while I love a good pivot table, I love my wife and kids a whole lot more. So I decided to get serious about building a life where my time belongs to me—and to the small humans constantly asking me for vBucks (IYKYK).

Along the way, I picked up a ton of strategies, mistakes, wins, and “Why didn’t anyone teach me this earlier?” financial hacks. So I created FIRERANT to share everything I’ve learned—and everything I’m still learning—so you can fast-track your own financial freedom without the trial-and-error I’ve endured.

Here, you’ll find:

• Original articles on saving, investing, and building wealth

• Honest opinions from someone actively on the FIRE path

• Practical hacks to grow your money (and protect it from your impulse buys)

• Real talk about balancing family, career, and financial goals

My mission is simple:
Help you build a life where your time is yours—and help my family get more of mine.

If you’re ready to stress less about money, laugh a little along the way, and make a plan for early freedom, you’re in the right place.

Let’s get financially free—one smart decision (and one rant) at a time.
