About

Welcome to Fatten The Wallet.  As the name might suggest, this blog is anything money 💰related.  If you’re looking for ways to make more money,  save more money, or get out of debt – then you’ve come to the right place.

Let’s get to know each other!

I’m Kelly and my goal is to never have to set my alarm clock ⏰ again.

I have been side hustling for as long as I can remember and it didn’t stop even when I had a 6-figure full-time job.  There is just something satisfying about it.

I thought about quitting my job many times over the years but the unknown can be scary.  If the pandemic did not happen, I might still be at the job I hated with a passion.  So I guess you can say something good came out of it.

A little About My Blogging Journey

I wanted to start a blog back in 2008, 2011, and again in 2013.

But it wasn’t until 2017 that I came across a personal finance blog that just changed everything for me.

The duo bloggers are your average Joe and Jane that made a comfortable living, but they managed to accumulate over $1mil USD.  They quit their jobs to travel the world (now they’re back teaching others how to do it and getting paid handsomely for it).

I was so inspired!  That’s exactly what I want to do with my life!  More freedom and flexibility.

I read the 3 books recommended by them: The Laptop Millionaire, The 4-Hour Workweek, and F.U. Money

The very next blog I came across was Making Sense of Cents.  I was mesmerized reading her income reports.  Is this for real?

I honestly never thought about escaping the 9-to-5 before.  I thought this was how I was supposed to live my life.  These books andMaking Sense of Cents blog opened my eyes to possibilities that I didn’t know existed.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’ve always been good with money but I just didn’t know how to make my money work for me.  Within 2 weeks of discovering their blogs, I finished the 3 books, started to invest, and started my own blog.

So join me in this journey as we work towards having more time and freedom while making money!
