I recently read that Wealth is Knowledge and I consistently read the Farnam Street Blog each week. If you are trying to grow your knowledge, and net worth, and not reading this blog, you need to make a change. In fact, I recently signed up for, and am now taking, the Art of Focus, which is […]
It’s been 3 quarters since I updated my blog – horrible, and I promise to be better in 2018, but I will be blogging about something different. Last year, I anticipated that our net worth would not grow materially, and suggested that we would hit $2.1 million, which was based on an expectation that most […]
Wow, what an interesting 2016 it has been. Starting the year, our net worth was $940,000 and earlier that year, I had set a target of being a millionaire by the end of 2016 [Never underestimate the power of smart goals]. Fortunately, we were blessed in 2016 with a hot real estate market and I had a large […]
Well, it has been a good quarter with our net worth tracking at $1.67 million. Not much to say on this one.

If you’ve ever lost weight, you may appreciate the comment more than if you haven’t and I will expand. A number of years ago, I saw a documentary on “the Fat Smoker” and his answer to losing weight was “Eat Less and Exercise More“. Simple right? Well, it could be that easy, but what proportion […]
In your journeys to FI, do many of you put in more hours at work than the average person would find reasonable? Do you sometimes question why you do that? Personally, work has been extremely challenging for probably fifteen years now, though rewarding in its own ways and now it’s getting even harder. Why, you […]
$60,000 away from our goal of $1,000,000 we are almost there.
Update of our Net Worth from June 2015. Life at home and at work has been busy and there hasn’t been much time to update our net worth, which is unfortunate. While it would be great to be able to update each month, I am focused on my career and family, which bring in the net worth […]
Well, better late than never in updating my net worth from March 2015: Not much to discuss on the change front – a happy 4.22% increase over March; however, it was mostly due to two accounting errors and less so to an increase in net worth. Note 1 – We had $2,000 in interest income […]
