Monthly Status Report: April 2018

By 13 Comments

Wel­come to the new month­ly sta­tus report! Now that I am no longer employed by any­one, I fig­ured it was time to change up the for­mat of the sta­tus reports. I did­n’t want to get rid of them entire­ly as I feel it’s impor­tant to share what tran­si­tion­ing to self-employ­­men­t/­­Fi­­nan­­cial Inde­pen­dence looks like. Also, I super apol­o­gize for pub­lish­ing this […]

Transitioning into FI

By 9 Comments

I know I am sup­posed to be on a break, but I was jour­nal­ing and this post pret­ty much appeared and I had to pub­lish it! I moved to a new town the sum­mer between 1st grade and kinder­garten. I did­n’t know any­one when I start­ed there. Being a small­er school, friends had already formed groups in kinder­garten and I missed out. One group […]

3 Years with Fiery Millennials

3 years. 3 years ago this hap­pened. 3 years of late nights, frus­tra­tions, inter­act­ing with awe­some peo­ple, and writ­ing count­less arti­cles. Ok, it’s actu­al­ly 180 arti­cles. I count­ed.

How time flies! I can’t believe the year is already half over. Seems like just yes­ter­day the weath­er start­ed to warm up. Now it’s almost too hot and humid to func­tion nor­mal­ly out­side! At the begin­ning of the year, I declared 2017 to be the “Year of Car­ing”. Based on the goals I list­ed in that post.….. yeah […]

Into the Wild Blue Yonder

By 32 Comments

I’ve men­tioned my expe­ri­ence in the mil­i­tary here and there, but I haven’t real­ly gone into any detail about it. I’ve got­ten sev­er­al requests to talk about var­i­ous aspects of being in the mil­i­tary and I’m hap­py to oblige! I don’t real­ly like to bring up being in the mil­i­tary in my every day to day […]

My Best Financial Lessons

By 12 Comments

Not all lessons in life come from a teacher in a class­room set­ting. Some of the most impor­tant lessons in life are the ones we learn out­side the class­room. These lessons could be about finances, rela­tion­ships or oth­er mis­cel­la­neous areas. I find the best lessons come from sim­ply watch­ing oth­er peo­ple and see­ing how things end up […]
