January was the first month that Whitney and I felt like we were getting in a good groove as parents. Aria started sleeping a little longer at night, at least at the beginning of the month, which was wonderful. Something I didn't realize before having a baby is that things seem to progress and regress … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- January 2025

And with that, 2024 is over. It was undoubtedly one of the best years of my life for so many different reasons. Our daughter was born, we visited our last continent and several new countries (56 countries visited in total now), we started settling into a more stationary family lifestyle which we've been craving for … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- December 2024

It was the best of times and the worst of times in November. We really cherished the first month of our newborn Aria's life, but the lack of sleep and free time definitely took a toll on Whitney and me. Adjusting to having a new baby was in some ways harder and in some ways … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- November 2024

October was a huge month for our family! Our daughter, Aria Casazza, was born at the end of the month! Despite a long and difficult labor, she's here, she's healthy, and she's absolutely perfect. Whitney and I, although sleep deprived, have been enjoying every second with her. Her birth has made us realize how thankful … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- October 2024

This was our fifth time in Colorado, and we feel like there's … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- August 2024

July was spent almost completely at home after we wrapped up our Travel PT contracts in Charlottesville and moved back. We were mostly busy working on the business and preparing for the baby, but we also squeezed in some family time, home projects, and hiking. Whitney was hard at work creating a baby registry, planning … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- July 2024

At the end of June, Whitney and I finished our travel contracts in Charlottesville, VA and moved back home. It was a little bittersweet. We loved the patients and the area, but we were glad to be done with the demanding caseload at the clinics. This was definitely the last time that we'll work at … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- June 2024

May was a busy month for us. Whitney and I were in the middle of our part time travel therapy contracts in Charlottesville, VA, while still doing a lot of work on the business, and trying to do as much hiking and exploring on the weekends as possible. These Travel PT contracts haven't been the … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- May 2024
