2025 we hardly knew you. Somehow it’s been both an incredibly long year, and it’s gone bye too fast. I feel like summer happened before I even registered what was going on. And even though we ticked all the boxes for fun fall activities, it was over in a blink. This is going to be… Continue reading 2025 Year in Review

Net Worth Milestone: Two Million
Unlike the time I became a liquid asset millionaire, I’ve known that August 15 2025 would be a milestone day for quite some time. With the current market, and especially Tech sector turbulence, I didn’t think this would be a sure thing. But the positive market conditions held, despite a 20% drop in my own… Continue reading Net Worth Milestone: Two Million
Escape Velocity: The Beginning Part of Space
I usually make it a point to only check my Fidelity account on the 15th of every month (net worth day) unless it’s an RSU vesting period or ESPP (employee stock purchase plan) day. August 1st is one of two annual ESPP days, and I always sell 100% of my ESPP shares immediately as a… Continue reading Escape Velocity: The Beginning Part of Space
My Goals for 2025
As is my tradition, I’m going to set some major and minor personal, career and family goals for the year. I’m a little late this year because it’s been a whirlwind holiday season and I just haven’t gotten any time in front of the computer in weeks. This year I have to do some hard… Continue reading My Goals for 2025
2024 Goals Reviewed
Here we are with two weeks remaining in 2024 and I can’t believe how little I posted this year. In my defense, I was out enjoying life for most of the year, and then for the rest of the year I was suffering the fallout of reorg hell. Each year I try to set out… Continue reading 2024 Goals Reviewed
My New Exercise Routine
One of my goals for the past two years has been to work on the habits of having a healthier lifestyle. I don’t generally set specific health goals of “losing X pounds” or “lifting X weight.” I prefer to work on the habits of eating healthy, reducing alcohol consumption, and making sure I work out… Continue reading My New Exercise Routine
How Do You Make Two Million Dollars?
I was catching up with a longtime friend over the weekend. He and I have a tendency to spar a little when we’re talking. A little ribbing here, a little joke about the hairline (or lack thereof) there, maybe a nutshot about an ex-girlfriend if we’re going for the big laugh. When the subject of… Continue reading How Do You Make Two Million Dollars?
My Goals for 2024
I’ve been tracking my goals for years now and overall it’s been a good experience. I feel like lately I’m hitting too many major goals, which means I’m throwing too many softballs to myself. So this year I’m going to try to set some stretch goals that may not be attainable. This year I’m going to try… Continue reading My Goals for 2024
2023 Year in Review
As usual, at the beginning of the year I laid out a series of major and minor goals. Now as the year comes to a close it’s time to look back to see how things shook out. I’ve done this every year since starting this blog and while sometimes I’ve hit all my goals, sometimes… Continue reading 2023 Year in Review
My Goals for 2023
As we careen headlong into 2023 I’m reminded of how optimistic I was going into 2022. I was riding high on the 2021 wave and looking ahead at some great possibilities for the year. Today’s post will not be as optimistic. These are my goals for 2023. Major Goals Minor Goals
