Last night we had another local in-person meetup. Our group meetups are awesome! Last night it was full of people that were all at different stages or points in their own personal finance journey. We talked about the wicked-sexy topic: year-end money moves. Okay, okay this did not have epic pyrotechnics or face-melting guitar solo lol! It was wwJust us, a discussion, and a pile of year end deadlines most of us ignore until the […]

The stock market has been on a fantastic run. Then, in the third quarter, it decided to sit this one out. Rising bond yields, persistent inflation worries and a little less enthusiasm for expensive equities put the brakes on the rally. But this wasn’t a market meltdown, or even a technical correction. Far from it. It was more of a pause, with investors taking a closer look at valuations and rotating toward sectors that can […]

My only remaining debt is my Student Loan. I had hoped to have it paid off this year. But as I mentioned in my last post, my continued goal with the lower income and ultimate goal of being self sufficient again when the need arises is driving me to focus on savings instead of paying off this final debt. Below you can see a screenshot of the status as of 10/3/2026. Screenshot of my Student Loan Dashboard The interest rate is 2.875% so it just makes sense to pay the minimum right now and continue to feed my high interest savings account which will eventually be my land/housing. And my ROTH IRA which will be my retirement. Increasing Income I’m continuing to grow my side hustle of watching dogs which has become a pretty steady income source. I keep my service area small and my rates on the lower end to keep myself booked. And I thoroughly enjoy it which is the best part. In fact, I’m almost completely booked for the month of November when I return from this next roadtrip with my dad. Have I mentioned that here? I can’t remember. And some weeks I’m actually triple booked. Woot!! Still praying for new recent interviews to turn into jobs. And if I get both of those, I will consider myself fully book for the time being. I’m quite excited about the prospect and more importantly thoroughly enjoying the work. When I hit $6,000 in monthly income, I plan to increase the rate that I am paying off my debt.

In September 2013, I shared our family’s transparent budget with the internet for the very first time. I’ve continued our real numbers nearly every month since then. Our budget looked completely different thirteen years ago compared to today, in numbers, method, and format. It’s normal for your budget to evolve over time, as your financial situation, your needs and your priorities change. A budget is there to serve you, not the other way around. What […]

If one of the new federal deductions for tips, overtime, seniors, or car loan interest applies to you and your W-4 hasn’t changed, you’re having too much tax withheld. Run the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator in October and give your employer a new W-4, so the fix reaches your last paychecks of the year. Source
