I can’t believe we’re already halfway through 2021! Unlike last month when I thought May flew by like a blur, June felt long. I felt like I did a lot this month which surprised me that with the exception of some miscellaneous spending, I’ve pretty much stayed on budget for most of my regular expenses. That breakdown along with a disappointing net worth update will be coming up later in the post. Home Update Last month, I broke the news…
Welcome to my 2020 Year in Review! 2020 flew by like nothing. It seemed like it was just yesterday that I was excited to see 2020 roll around. A new decade, a new start. Well, as we all know, that didn’t pan out quite as planned. Instead, a pandemic struck and before we knew it, we were just waiting for 2020 to finish to get to 2021. With that said, I wouldn’t say 2020 was a complete disaster. While many…
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…
Welcome to my September 2020 financial progress! If you are new here, every month, I post the progress I’ve made on paying off my student loans and on my savings. I’ve done this since I first started paying down my loans in July 2017 and it has been so worth it. I do this to hold myself accountable and to share my progress with others who are also facing debt payments of their own. Debt paid this month: $880.77 Debt…

Drumroll please… As of Oct 17, 2019 I currently have a whopping net worth of ZERO dollars! And if you thought I’d be depressed over it, well you’re wrong. I’m damn proud of my $0 net worth! I guess a backstory is needed here. Why am I happy with my $0 net worth? Because for the first time since I became an adult, I have positive net worth. I started undergrad at 18 by borrowing the first of many student…

I cannot believe how fast 2018 flew by. As I look back on my 2018, I figured why not document the highlights. It’ll be great to look back on this years later to read a quick recap of my personal, financial, and work life in 2018. Before I begin, I like to start by looking back at the goals I made at the beginning of 2018. I started 2018 with $129,149 in student loan debt and in January wrote a list…
