Progress to Financial Independence- December 2016

I'm late on posting this but it's been a busy month. We were out of town almost every weekend in December. We visited Asheboro, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Savannah, and went home for Christmas. We had the day after Christmas off of work so we got to spend a long weekend at home which was very … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- December 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- November 2016

November seemed to fly by, but it was a moderately eventful month. Whitney and I spent some time working on our camper, sealing around the openings on the roof to prepare for winter. We took a weekend trip to Asheville, NC to explore and also to see the Biltmore Estate. It was an amazing and … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- November 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- October 2016

Although October has 31 days, it really flew by this year. Whitney and I got a little more settled into our new assignments, we took a weekend trip back home for a wedding, and I turned 28 years old but besides that, not much excitement this month. We are really enjoying the weather in North … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- October 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- September 2016

September ended up being even worse than I had anticipated with regards to my financial situation. I knew that I would be missing out on two weeks of pay, from spending a week at home and then going on vacation. I also knew that I would only be getting partial pay for another two weeks, due … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- September 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- August 2016

It's September already? These months are flying by. August was a little interesting for us this year because we chose to take a contract in the northeast to have a more mild summer but this August was the hottest on record in this area. It was basically like being in Virginia. Also, this summer has … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- August 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- July 2016

First off, I'd like to appologize for writing so little lately. Whitney and I have been taking a lot of weekend trips and also the wifi at our current campground is terrible which makes doing anything online very difficult (one of the downsides of living at campgrounds). This month went really well financially. There are … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- July 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- June 2016

I'm a little late writing this post, but June is over already and my finances are still right on track. We took a lot less weekend trips this month, so I was able to save some extra money as well. During June we moved to a new campground in the same area in Massachusetts. It … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- June 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- May 2016

May was an awesome month for multiple reasons. Whitney and I were offered an extension to our current contracts for an additional nine weeks, which means that we will be able to spend the summer in the northeast like we planned! We took several weekend trips including: Boston, NYC, Maine/New Hampshire, and Cape Cod. Most … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- May 2016

Progress to Financial Independence- April 2016

I'm planning to do monthly updates on my progress to financial independence. If nothing else, it will be an awesome way to look back on the journey in the future. I'll also be able to look back on the change in value of my investments each month. I only recently began to experiment with Excel so … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- April 2016
