Well, the tide has receded from the high water mark of earlier this month (at its peak, I think our invested assets reached $1.08MM) and we’re back under a million in invested assets again. This leaves us open to celebrating a second (or third! or fourth!) time as we cross over that number, so it’s…

For my third quarter 10k (remembering that one of my New Year’s resolutions was to run an organized 10k every quarter), I had to sort of stretch the definition of Q3. We had a lot of travel during the summer, so while I technically should have run this race in July, August, or September, I’m…

I’m sure this won’t be the first time we cross this milestone, but we hit $1,000,000 in invested assets accounts today! Periodically on Reddit, someone will ask, “What did it feel like when you crossed a million dollars in invested assets?” Similarly, “What did it feel like when you crossed a million dollars in net…

I’m introducing a new category of posts to this blog, inspired by my weekly scroll through our recipe spreadsheet (yes, even my cooking is organized by spreadsheet) and realizing that it now has over 300 line items in it. I spend a lot of time making favorites of the family, but I also spend a…

I have a confession to make. A timely confession, given that this is being written on October 1st, after the close of the stock market. When recording my monthly net worth statement, I always start by entering the values as they stand on the last day of the month. I don’t “lock” those values in,…

Oddly, I was less motivated to do this accounting. Sure, I had gone through Monarch already and categorized everything as Travel, and I had even created the tab for this account in my vacation expenses spreadsheet before we took the trip, but something about this was less interesting than our Ireland trip. Maybe because that…

At the time of writing this blog entry, I have 67 Google Flights alerts set to email me when prices change. If they ever start limiting the number of alerts you can set, I’ll be really, really sad, but for now, I keep loading them up with aspirational and planned trips to keep track of…

Well, we finally made it through fog of August and came out over $1.4MM officially. The stock vest I referenced in the last net worth update recovered almost $10/share by the time the actual vest event occurred, which was thrilling. My strategy is, and has always been, to sell immediately upon vest (as in –…

Every year since 2020, I’ve looked forward to hearing the new 401k and IRA limits being announced. “Looked forward” is a strong statement, I suppose – I’ve anticipated the announcement and taken note when it arrived. There are several sites/entities that spend the entire year predicting the increase for the next year, so it’s usually…

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this. On the one hand, I love reading the nitty-gritty details of people’s vacations – the number (if any) of points they used, the amount everything cost, anything interesting they did as an activity, how much they used cash, their strategies for booking various things, etc., etc. On…
