Today was one of those days. Got a $5.5k medical bill from 2018. Womp, womp. All I saw was my Roth IRA for the year. Had to go back to my FIRE Tracker. I guess everything is going to be okay. With The Thing that happened; moving; buying a house, and now this, I’m curious …
I was awakened from sleep with worries that the PMI I willfully accepted on my mortgage loan would ruin everything. I don’t know what “everything” is exactly but the worry persisted none the less. One thing (of few) I did know going into the home buying process was to get loan “quotes” from different lenders. …
If you’ve ever tried to keep your personal finance from the eyes of others, getting a mortgage is not for you.

Closer to family New cousins I just met in Florida are vocalizing that I should move to Florida. I know …
I read once that you can develop a new habit on average in about 66 days or a minimum of 2 weeks. In 66 days from today, I plan to be job-hunting free (and close on a house!). The emotional rollercoaster of the job hunt has proven to be too much for me. I’ve tried …
In case you missed my last dozen or so posts, I’m 0 for 3 with the FIRE tenets. I was not able to turn my blog into a money-making machine. At least doing it my way. I tried the side-hustle life, and my body disagreed. I have not been able to significantly increase my income. …
So while I have stepped away from the edge… a bit… I still have some cool irons in the fire so to speak. Eleven days into the new year and I’ve only applied to 4 jobs. Maybe I can quit this obsession after all. As my self-proclaimed mentor has already advised I need to come …
