A working dad, starting a long journey to reach FIRE, contentment, or both.
If you regularly checked this page (and I don’t know that anyone does), you might wonder if I gave up on writing it. After all, it’s been over a year and a half since the last post was published. And while this post will show that obviously I’m still writing, there’s more to be said than just that.
So, 18½ months later, what’s going on? Where did I go? How am I doing? Does anyone care? The answers to most of those questions will follow.
Financial experts (and bloggers) always have lots of ideas of things one might do to try to improve their financial situations. There are lists of side hustles. You can take any number of surveys. You could try the latest get-rich-quick scheme. (Okay, maybe those don’t come from real “experts”.) But the fact of the matter is that there is just not enough time in the day to try every idea that comes across your screen…or my time management skills need work. Either way, it’s a lesson I’ve learned the hard way: I can’t do it all.
