Kelan and Brittany Kline founded The Savvy Couple blog in 2016. It's evolved into a business that generated $1.3 million in 2023.
Brittany and Kelan Kline, high-school sweethearts, launched a finance blog called The Savvy Couple in 2016. The couple, who grew up in Rochester, New York, had been paying off $40,000 in student loans while Brittany was an elementary school teacher and Kelan worked as a jail deputy. They found their ideal lifestyle centered on family, flexibility, and control over their time.
The blog began as a $2.95-a-month operation but expanded into a seven-figure business by 2023, generating $1.3 million in revenue. Despite their growing income, the Klines maintained a simple lifestyle, living in their starter home, driving used cars, and avoiding eating out. Their net worth surpassed $1 million by 2020, primarily due to wise investments, including Vanguard index funds and rental real estate.
They attribute their success to staying true to their vision and reinvesting the majority of their earnings into their businesses and savings.
