Matt & Yana

Matt and Yana, hosts of CoastFI Couple, are a happily married duo who met in college and have spent over 13 years building a life grounded in financial independence, simplicity, and family. 

Now based in Florida, they’ve become debt-free and reached Coast FI, all while raising their two kids. Matt, with a background in corporate America and a deep passion for personal finance, is dedicated to helping others prioritize life over the grind, encouraging a stress-free approach to money. 

Yana brings a creative, big-picture perspective, embracing the values of peace and simplicity while guiding families towards financial independence. 

Together, they empower couples to build a life where money supports their dreams but never defines them.
