Up and down, up and down, we tread a lot of the same ground this month without making much progress overall. This was also the continuation of my sabbatical and our two week trip to Europe, so another pricey month though this time cash dropped at the same time as the market. I was a…

Well, this month was the month that we generated our first bill for the remainder of our roof replacement, so we once again have a line of credit to pay down as quickly as possible. This one is on 0% for the next 18 months, and the plan is obviously to pay it off before…

I suppose I should be thankful that the continuing ascent of the market arrived the same month that we finally were invoiced for our new roof, and forked over $15,000 of our savings as a partial payment on the $23,000 bill. This month we were not billed for the rest, but next month we’ll finally…

Montreal! Let’s start with some story time. Back in middle school, 8th grade students with a GPA over a certain score (I forget what it was) were offered the opportunity to take Spanish a year early, getting a head start on the language requirements of high school. Every single one of my friends met that…

April was a good eating month! We had some great food on vacation, tried a new recipe at home, and resurrected some good old recipes, as well. Unfortunately, I apparently took zero pictures of any of the food I made in April, so what I have to offer as a cover image is a beer…

That was one hell of a month! It more than made up for the previous month, though the swings were not quite enough to get us over the line on another milestone or two. The numbers keep getting bigger, but being over a million away from FI really makes them feel less impactful despite the…

Hey, I made new recipes this month! Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of either of them, so everyone gets to enjoy this turtle-shaped sourdough I accidentally made after having to leave the dough in the fridge for four days while I waited for the replacement igniter to my oven to come in. New Recipes Irish…

Well, it was nice having some triumphant months with lots of green, because this month (which I’ve been expecting for a while) finally came. It is always less exciting to pass over a milestone a second time, so at least only a few of the recent milestones have been undone. Category April 2026 Change Savings…

Sorry, folks, apparently the only food I took a picture of that was food I made myself was this particularly nicely-eared loaf of sourdough. So that’s what we get this month. New Recipes Cava honey harissa chicken – I’ve been making this recipe for a few months (probably, I’d have to look back at when…

Alright, so, it’s the 7th. Normally I hop right to doing the net worth update on the 1st, sometimes the 2nd if I’m busy. But we are 9 weeks into 2026 and my job has managed to upset or piss me off each and every week of the year so far, so I’m feeling pretty…
