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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
I can’t believe it’s already time for another monthly savings report! While paying off our mortgage, I posted monthly updates to share how much extra principal my husband and I were able to pay that month. Since paying off our house at the very end of January 2018, I have continued posting updates at the …
Happy spring! Oh my goodness, I thought it would never come! My husband and I have spent the last week looking at hotels and flights for our trip to Greece that we have planned for September, so that’s my excuse for this post being fashionably late. The good news is that everything is booked – …
