Back in January, I shared our financial goals for the year, just as I have done for the past few years. Perhaps some of you detail-oriented readers noticed that after my first quarterly report, I stopped posting progress reports for 2023. There were three main reasons for this. First, our lives were turned upside down …
Being the goal-oriented person I am, I always seem to be about a month or two ahead of myself. When I was younger, it used to drive my friends a little crazy because when someone would ask me how old I was, I would more often than not say the next age up (“I’ll be …
