About Me — Oliver Quip

Hi! I’m Olly (aka Oliver Quip, the Coast FIRE by 45 guy). Nice to meet you.

Author’s hairy face. Created via MidJourney.

Olly here.

I thought I’d introduce myself as I switch The FI Adventure to a personal blog about chasing Coast FIRE by age 45.

I’m an “old” millennial disenfranchised by the corporate system and the default life I’ve been floating through for 40 years.

My wife and I have made a plan to escape our 9–5 cubicles — and redefine what success, living, and retirement look like.

I’m building a community of like-minded millennials who are chasing Coast FIRE by 45 as well.

I write about:

• My journey from a net worth of negative $70K to a positive $800K.
• Budgeting, financial tools, money tips, and relationships.
• Observations of the corporate and default life.
• Alternative work, income, and travel.
• Living a non-conforming lifestyle.
• Leveraging a 9–5 to retire early.
