It’s my favorite time of month again! Ever since July 15, 2017, two days before I turned 29, I have logged in to Personal Capital around the 15th of each month to update our net worth. We were in the middle of feverishly paying off our mortgage at this time and later moved on to …
Savings and Investment Property Updates
Hi, everyone! I realized today that I haven’t updated you on the investment property we bought in July since…well, since we bought it, actually.🤦🏼♀️ You guys haven’t missed too much as far as that goes, but we’ll get into that (plus pictures) later! And I’ve done a pretty bad job the last few months – …
Net Worth Update: October 2019
Welcome to my monthly net worth report! Around the 15th of each month I take a few minutes to log onto Personal Capital and calculate our net worth. I’ve been doing this since July 2017 and have enjoyed watching it grow ever since! I wish I had started tracking our net worth at the beginning …
Our First Hotel Rewards Credit Card: Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
It’s that time again! If you’ve been a reader of my blog or followed me on Instagram over the last few years, you have learned about travel hacking right along with me and watched as I got my first credit card since the age of 18 – plus three more over the following years. We …
Net Worth Update: August 2019
It’s that time again! Around the 15th of each month I sit down to update our net worth. These monthly reports began in the summer of 2017 after I read The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. and William D. Danko, Ph.D. I learned that if I am serious about building wealth and becoming a …
We Bought Our 1st Investment Property – with Cash!
As excited as I am to share our latest news with you, I’ve also been pretty anxious about it. My anxiety just comes with the nature of the territory of the decision I made toward the end of August 2016 – that if I’m going to start a blog to share our journey with you, …
Net Worth Update: July 2019
Whew, July is such an exciting month! My 31st birthday is in two days, and it’s been a year and a half now since we paid off our mortgage. Oh, and we recently made a huge announcement. We just closed on our very first rental property – and we paid in cash! I’ll share all …
Net Worth Report: June 2019
In July 2017, I sat down to calculate our net worth for the very first time. I had just read The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. and William D. Danko, Ph.D., and after years of hearing the term in passing, I finally felt compelled to find out what ours was. I had heard …
Our First Travel Hack: Two Weeks in Greece Using Chase Ultimate Rewards Points
You guys have graciously followed my credit card journey for a year and a half now. You supported me when I departed from the anti-credit card stance that I had long held, learned with me as I adjusted to new ways of maintaining our budget now that almost every purchase was put on credit cards, …
Mid-Month Net Worth Report: May 2019
Guys, I have to apologize to you for my unplanned month off. I didn’t write a single post in April! That was the very first time in almost three years of having this blog that I didn’t post at least once during the month. I could blame it on being busy, traveling for work, focusing …
