This will be a very short and sweet post as I will be doing a deeper end-of-year review. At first, I wasn’t very excited to do November and December’s review since it was marked by overspending on travel, gifts, and Black Friday shopping.

November & December Budget Fixed Spending Unfortunately, both Hulu and Netflix went up in price…

Ahh! I can barely contain my excitement! Out of all the posts I’ve written or plan on writing, this was the post I was most looking forward to writing, with possibly the exception of being debt free. As of Oct 9, 2020, I currently have a six figure net worth! For a while now, I’ve known that based on how much I was saving vs how much I was putting to pay off my debt that I’d hit the $100k…
