December 2019 Update

Let's skip all the pleasantries and get down to what's important here...the update. At the end of December, my net worth was....

November 2019 Update

I guess I better post November's update before we reach the end of the year and it's time to post updates for December and the year over all. I guess it's true what they say about this journey; that the middle is boring. Early on my journey, I obsessed over the numbers, compared my progress to others, and strategized about how I could maximize my net worth as fast as possible. Now that I've been doing this a couple of years, I've lost the motivation and excitement those things used to bring me. I still save aggressively, but not with the same zeal I had before. I don't care to proselytize about this lifestyle. This is part of the reason my posts are growing late, but I'm still honoring the commitment I made to make a monthly progress post along this journey. Without further ado...At the end of November, my net worth was...

October 2019 Update

Late again. I guess this is becoming a regular thing with me. Oh well, I'm through apologizing (so long as I continue to actually provide monthly updates, that is). I've been at this a while and, frankly, writing the updates is growing tedious. Watching my money grow is still exciting though. Enough of this, let's get down to it. At the end of October, my net worth was...

A Little Bit of History

It's been a while since I wrote a post other than the net worth updates I report. Honestly, this blogging thing kinda sucks and I procrastinate whenever I'm supposed to do one of my monthly updates. But I visited Reddit today and saw yet another post by someone sharing their story of how they reached a certain financial goal and, while reading it and the comments, I felt compelled to create this post. Something for anyone who visits and wants to know if I also lucked into a big inheritance or am working a job making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. So, I felt like giving my history in case anyone is interested. If you're interested, I hope you find inspiration in what I have to say.

September 2019 Update

Blah, blah, obligatory chatty intro blah. I just wrote the August update because I'm behind. I also have to write one for September since I was lazy and am just now getting around to it. Let's just do this, shall we? My net worth at the end of September was...

August 2019 Update

This update is extremely late, but truth is, I'm getting really tired of writing update these posts. I like the idea of keeping track of my monthly progress, but writing a post every first of the month becomes tedious after a while. Also, I've been at this a while and it's beginning to lose its excitement. I don't mean I'm growing tired of pursuing financial independence. I just mean I'm growing tired of trying to remember all the monetary details of the prior month when I write one of these posts. But I said in the beginning I'd do this for posterity's sake, so I guess I need to just suck it up and keep at it. Let's get down to it then; at the end of August, my net worth was...

July 2019 Update

I'm really late with this post. Life was happening and I was just going with the flow. No care in the world and then, last night while lying in bed, it dawned on me...I have something I'm supposed to do. Hmm. Well, better late than never. At the end of July (plus a couple of days), my net worth was...
