Corona and Barista-FI

It’s been a while since I’ve written about anything financial and I thought it’s about time I get back to the reason this blog exists: money. A little public navel-gazing has always helped me progress, so let’s have at it. Somewhere around 2015 I lost steam in tracking financial progress through blogging. You can seeContinue reading “Corona and Barista-FI”

2019 wrap up + 2020 goals

As we’re about to hit the second month of 2020, I suppose it’s time I review my 2019 goals! I didn’t set many goals for 2019, my singular goal was to increase my passive income and networth. At the end of 2018 this is how things looked: As you can see, at $273 a monthContinue reading “2019 wrap up + 2020 goals”

2019: First quarter results

Today I am procrastinating from my intermediate accounting course work and throwing a quick little update on the blog instead. Appropriate, right? Same area of expertise, sort of! I only have two goals for 2019, more detail can be found in my February post on the topic. Numbero uno: I aimed to increase my NWContinue reading “2019: First quarter results”

Figuring out what my FI/RE number is supposed to be. (Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement, Part 4)

I guess this thang is turning into a series much like my previous charting of debt payoff… hmmm!) I’ve been reading reddits like r/financialindependence for quite some time, I mean HELLO, I’m a PF blogger.. gotta keep up with those trends! With all my recent talk about making changes in my life over the pastContinue reading “Figuring out what my FI/RE number is supposed to be. (Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement, Part 4)”

A realistic budget for the future. (Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement, Part 3).

Hello world! Well, last year I barely wrote a thing and now it’s only been one hot minute since my last post and I may as well keep on truckin’… :). Today I am trying to figure out how to create a realistic monthly budget to stick to that comes to less than $1,000 perContinue reading “A realistic budget for the future.

Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement, Part 2.

Something I like to do when I get nervous is count my marbles. Looking at the numbers and looking at my savings gives me reassurance that won’t be broke like I was once and that I have some breathing room to be JUST FINE regardless of what curve balls I come across in life. I’mContinue reading “Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement, Part 2.”

2018 wrap-up and 2019 goals!

My gosh you guys, I wrote a quick little post in December on how my 2018 went. It’s time I do an actual full update and set some new goals! I didn’t update a whole lot through 2018 as I was much too busy being my workaholic self to bother with writing nonsense on theContinue reading “2018 wrap-up and 2019 goals!”

How to work part-time as a workaholic.

I can’t figure it out…..:p Back in June 24, 2018 I wrote about planning for a sooner rather than later retirement. Like many PF bloggers I’ve moved from getting my financial life in order, to becoming debt-free, to choosing to become financially independent. From the beginning it’s always been by goal to become financially independent.Continue reading “How to work part-time as a workaholic.”
