November 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #83 – Net Worth $7,528,114
It’s beginning to feel a lot like…change! Yes, I can feel myself evolving and preparing for the next chapter of life I wrote about back in 2020. For the last ten years, I’ve been head-down aggressively and obsessively building a financial foundation that would enable my family and me to live life by our design. […]
October 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #82 – Net Worth $7,521,552
It happened! We finally closed the transaction whereby I sold a majority interest in my business. As I reflect back on what has been accomplished over the past 32 months since starting this business I am extremely satisfied with the progress we made in a relatively short period of time. I think the best thing […]
September 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #81 – Net Worth $6,688,328
What a month! September was a bit rough as we concluded the peak of our busy season that runs from May through October. Everyone (including myself) is looking forward to the seasonal slowdown that naturally happens this time of year as we head into the holidays. This holiday season is going to be bittersweet; it […]
August 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #80 – Net Worth $6,594,162
I’m a super planner…but August decided to ignore my plans! The first major surprise was that our daughter decided to show up three weeks early from her September 7th due date, which began a cascade of plans going out the window. I had somehow deluded myself into thinking I could plan everything to perfection…but life […]
July 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #79 – Net Worth $6,533,960
I’m going out on a limb this month to include the value of my business in this month’s report, since we are officially 30 days from close as I type these words. If last month was a huge milestone, this month was a quantum leap as our net worth is more than doubling month over […]

Financial Independence!!! We officially hit our Financial Independence number this month as defined by the Five Major Milestones of FI that I wrote three years ago.

May 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #77 – Net Worth $2,870,284
May was the first month that has felt “normal” in a long time. I mean…I got to take my son to see his first movie at a theater. The GYFG family is definitely ready for some fun in the sun this summer. Although it’s not yet officially summer as I type, it’s only 23 days […]
April 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #76 – Net Worth $2,766,925
I know I say this every month but I can’t believe another month is in the rear view mirror. The first week in April was very tough with the loss of my mother-in-law as she lost her battle with cancer. The grieving process is nowhere near done but each passing day and week is getting […]
March 2021 – Detailed Financial Report #75 – Net Worth $2,658,092
I’m late getting this regular monthly update out because my family’s world has been consumed by the pain of a devastating loss. In February of this year, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. We are in shock now that only two months after the diagnosis she lost this battle in early April. […]
