Progress to Financial Independence- March 2017

March was the most lucrative month that I've had financially to this point. A combination of five paychecks this month and receiving my tax refund, equal to an additional paycheck, resulted in a significant improvement in my net worth. I also received $400 in bank account sign up bonuses this month to add some icing … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- March 2017

Progress to Financial Independence- February 2017

February was a relatively uneventful month compared to all the problems in January. Work went well, and Whitney and I began applying for our Illinois PT licenses where we hope to work in the next couple of months if everything goes well. We were hoping to extend our contracts to stay at the beach for … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- February 2017

Progress to Financial Independence- January 2017

January started off awesome with a fun long weekend in Savannah, GA staying at a beautiful hotel for free. One week later we moved from Fayetteville to start our new jobs on the NC coast. Starting on the day we left Fayetteville, things went downhill quickly. On the morning we woke up to move, it … Continue reading Progress to Financial Independence- January 2017

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
