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 month

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 past

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 per

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’m

Portfolio gains!

Nothing exciting here, just topping off my RRSP for the end of year deadline! Which tipped my monthly dividend + interest income over $300 each month. Woohoo! :D:D:D:D via GIPHY It’s only a couple of years ago that $100/month of passive income was a goal I had had for a loooooooong time, I set it

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 the

Planning for Sooner-Rather-Than-Later-Retirement

I don’t write regularly enough for there to be a clear pattern in how my thoughts evolve on a given subject matter over time. Recent musings have led me to consider however that perhaps I would enjoy everything in life a little more if I were to work part-time, rather than full-time. I don’t seem

Updates and plans

My last post was made January 22, in Thoughts on how to move forward I talked about a long of things. Personal, health, work, about shifting the focus of my financial planning from just getting my shit together to planning for a different future. I thought I had written here after but… figments of the imagination

A year on Lending Loop!

I am rewriting this post because I already wrote it and it disappeared into the bowels of the internets. So. 🙂 I opened an account with Lending Loop in December 2016 and made my first deposit on December 28th.  I LOVE the idea of Lending Loop and so far I LOVE the execution of Lending

Goals and budget for 2017

Goals, shmoals. Didn’t set any this year because life was just chaos. I moved three times this year! I sold my house! I didn’t write about it because it felt so surreal for a while. It was about 6 weeks to close the deal, I moved. Yadda yadda, I’m alive, hey! Lets start with income;
