Before I begin this article, I want to emphasize that I am sharing this information with you not to brag but to continue to show complete transparency with my financial numbers and life. I do this for three reasons. To keep my blog’s integrity. I would never try to sell something that I wasn’t practicing myself. Just like you wouldn’t trust an out of shape personal trainer, or a dentist with decaying teeth. By using my actual numbers, it’s the best way to keep my journey authentic and relatable. To show how easy many of the concepts that I discuss are and how applicable they can be to your life…

2019 Financial Summary
This is probably my favorite post to write every year because maps out my current trajectory towards financial independence. It lets me know how I’m doing with my saving, investing, and spending. Collecting this information can be extremely powerful tool because of the insight it gives you and one that I recommend everyone keep track of. You don’t need to go all out like my spreadsheet with tables, graphs, and ROI but if I had one piece of advice for someone just starting out, it would be to track your spending. This is far and away the most important data one can track. When you know where your money is…

2020 Goals
2019 has come and gone and for really no apparent reason, I feel that I have been waiting for 2020 for a long time. I was too young to appreciate 2000 and the rest of the years in between didn’t quite seem to have the appeal that 2020 did. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an election year so 2020 is posted everywhere or if it’s because 20/20 eyesight is good so therefor one could deduct the year would be good too. I’m not sure, but regardless, I’m excited to bring on the year! The Importance of Goal Writing I think by now everyone knows how strongly I feel…

2019 Goals Review
Back at the beginning of the year, just after the inception of the blog, I wrote a post laying out my goals for 2019 in all aspects of my life. Well, 2019 has come and gone, and it’s time to report back on the results. So let’s break down how I fared this year with each goal. 2019 Goals: 1. Start a Blog: Met. Technically, when I wrote these goals last year I had already started the blog. So we will call this one met. When I began writing this blog, I started it as a safe place that I could voice my financial opinions, however, I had no idea…

Happy One Year Blog Anniversary: Documenting the Growth!
Today marks the official one-year anniversary since the inception of this blog. To say that I am surprised is an understatement as 95% of blogs are abandoned according to Technorati, a search engine for blogs. Which as of writing this has also abandoned. So, to make it past the year mark with a blog that is more of a passion project than a revenue producer is a success in my mind. And as I have learned, as long as I am happy with the blogs growth, nothing else really matters at this time. Blog Growth I truly did not see this blog developing in the way that it has, and…
