| Submission declined on 3 March 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Jackie Cummings Koski is a book author, financial educator, and member of the FIRE movement.[1][2] She reached financial independence at age 46 and retired from her career as a sales manager at LexisNexis at age 49.[3][4] She teaches about financial literacy,[5][6] and now holds a Master's of Science in Personal Financial Planning as well as Certified Financial Planner and Accredited Financial Counselor credentials.[7]
Koski committed herself to achieving financial independence after getting divorced at age 33 and realizing she had much less saved for retirement than her ex-husband.[8] Koski calculated that she needed at least $1 million to become financially independent.[9] By the time she retired, she had $1.3 million.[10]
Koski is African American, and was raised by a single parent and has five siblings.[11] She has noted that, "as I went through college and started my own career, I always had this nagging feeling that I never wanted to be back in poverty again."[9]
Koski maintained a low cost of living in southwestern Ohio.[11] The highest salary she earned during her career was approximately $80,000.[10]
Koski's published books include:
- F.I.R.E. for Dummies (ISBN: 9781394235018)
- Money Letters 2 My Daughter (ISBN: 9780989186032)
