Yoga Teacher in U.S. Virgin Islands — Money Diaries

Occupation: Freelance Writer/Yoga Teacher
Industry: Wellness
Age: 34
Location: U.S. Virgin Islands
Salary: $2,000/month in freelance work
Net Worth: ~$214,000 (I taught in the public school system in the US for 12 years, so I have a vested public school retirement account with ~$106,631 that I will have access to when I am 63. I have about $50,000 invested in the market (a large chunk of that came from the sale of a house when I got divorced in 2020) that is managed by a financial firm. I have $5,600 in a Roth IRA (that I plan to max out again this year), and around $52,000 in an HYSA. I sold a car and have been saving like mad to be able to move from the Midwest to the U.S. Virgin Islands to join my partner. This number is pretty inflated because I hope to buy a car in the next few months and will also begin contributing to living expenses. I also have some of this earmarked for taxes. My partner and I don’t have joint accounts but we do cover things for each other when needed.)
