June was an amazing month. Whitney and I got married and then set out on another long international trip for our Honeymoon, this time 10 weeks in Europe!

Although our wedding and reception are both going to be small, there were more things to plan and prepare for than I expected. Trip planning, while exciting, is also stressful. We're going to be spending 10 … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- May 2023

April was a pretty laid back month. Besides a quick trip to Kansas City for a few days for the annual AOTA (Occupational Therapy) Conference, we were at home for the rest of the month. The conference went really smoothly, and we were compensated well for attending the conference with one of the staffing companies … Continue reading Financial Independence Update- April 2023

We spent all of November traveling on our trip around the world. Although our most expensive long international trip, this one has been my favorite. I'll be writing about my total expenses once we get back home.

October was another really busy month for us. In terms of both traveling and business, 2022 has been our most busy year by far.
