Friday's Progress Update

Nine and a half months in the books - has it ONLY been 285 days? Incredible.

It has certainly felt longer at times, but it's write-ups like this one that make me think about how much has been accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. 

Take a look at this graph. This is the graph where I track my net worth after removing my house and mortgage. I started with a negative net worth!! But now, it's climbed into the positive and is starting to become an incredible motivator. I took digital white out to the numbers, but my Sherlock Holmes like followers can probably crack the code. Funny how dirty it still feels sharing numbers, even though I have done it a few times. 


Positive movement. Daily focus. It's paying off.

There was a significant jump in the green line, measuring positive accounts. This came from two things. We have a company ESOP (employee stock ownership plan). It serves as an additional retirement savings vehicle. Our company has experienced some good years recently, which boosted the value of this account. The second reason is I paid off my car - so I added the value of that "asset".

I mentioned last week I have planned out specific debt repayment allocations for the next 14 months. It's aggressive, but doable. Keep the focus.

Weekly fitness - 17.1 miles run, 2 miles walked, 1 strength session.
Diet - has sucked! Trying to reign that in.

Here's to a successful November!

Frugal Dieting

As talked about yesterday, Americans spend a lot of money on food and drink. If you eat outside of your home often, you spend even more. Two weeks in to this 30 day budget cycle, and I'm already at my budgeted amount for food/groceries/house items. After seeing this I need to make two changes. The first change is adding another line item to my budget for household items (think paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning products), because right now it's getting lumped in with my grocery dollars. The second change is an effort to eat more frugally. I've begun to do this, but efforts will be increased. Here is my plan: I need to get to a point where I make a list and shop once a week. I've been known to stop by Hannaford 3-4 times per week and this alone will lead to buying too much. I want to stick to a simple eating plan: Delay my first meal as long as possible in the morning. I think there are benefits to the combination of  intermittent fasting/calorie restriction

Time and Money

The past four years have been a realization that there exists two main commodities in life, time and money. In this post I talked about the fact that when you spend your money, you're mortgaging your time. This was most evident a few weeks after Christmas 2014. The girls reached an age where their Christmas list was quite large; a lists of desired toys influenced by the culture they find themselves growing up in. L and I obliged their many desires that year, leading to a fairly expensive Christmas. A mere two weeks after Christmas those many wants, which were now haves in their very hands, no longer held the same meaning to them. I didn't and don't blame them for this. I feel it's a "luxury" of their generation, and if I'm honest, each generation between theirs and my own. Under that tree that year existed many hours L and I spent at work. I dare say time that would have rather been spent as a family, doing any number of things that cost little to

Find a Tribe

With most goals, I always suggest people find a small accountability group for support. It's often said that our behaviors can be strongly influenced by the 6 closest people in our lives.  According to a survey done by the investment app Acorns, talking about money isn't something that people like to do. I dare say many find it taboo. A statistic shared by Acorns is that 68% of people would rather talk about their weight than talk about their financial situation .  One side benefit of sharing this journal, is I have found others that are on a similar journeys. Having people to discuss things with and hold you accountable (whether directly or passively) can help with motivation. Finding someone who has practiced the behaviors you're working on for a good duration of their life can serve as a great mentor, whether you actually designate that person with such a title or not. Whatever life goals you have, find a tribe of like minded individuals. Guard against people who co
