I haven't been posting my spending each month as I have done previously. Primarily because I didn't have a savings rate goal in mind. However, I have still been tracking expenses every month so I thought it would be a good idea to really assess where my money is going and perhaps make a few …
It's been a while since I've made a specific FIRE progress update. I have been tracking my net worth and investment portfolio monthly through my Monthly Goal Progress posts. But I thought it would be good to have some progress update specific to FIRE. In an overall sense, my main vehicle of reaching FIRE (my …
One month before 2021 is over! It's been a strange year - it seems like it's gone by quickly and slowly at the same time 😛 Roughly during mid-November to December I started to ease off a few things and spend a bit more time relaxing, watching movies, playing games, and doing other things. I …
Just one month away from the half-way point for 2021! A lot has been happening this year, and creating these monthly goal reviews has really kept me on track and focused. May was interesting - quite a few changes with my finances, but I've been making really good progress with my PT business and a …
First FIRE progress update of 2021! Given my monthly updates towards my goals, which includes net worth, investing, and finances, I didn't think it was necessary to update my progress towards FIRE every month.

Can't believe it's almost mid-December 2020. What a year. I'm grateful and fortunate to live and work in an area that wasn't really influenced by COVID - allowing me to continue with work and make progress across my personal goals. I know it hasn't been easy for some. For me personally, it's been a great …
Only one month to go before the end of 2020! I'm really excited for this last month as I'm so close to reaching a few of my finance goals for this year. I'm even more excited for 2021! I made a lot of progress towards my financial goals over November, mostly due to the state …
Earlier this year, my partner and I wanted to see how cheap we could eat over a month, with the aim of spending less than $5 per day. If you would rather watch my experience of this challenge rather than read, check out the video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cij3MKdaYEU At the start of the challenge, I posted …
We are coming into the final months of 2020, and it's great to see some progress towards my FIRE goals and numbers. Still an incredibly long way to go, but as you can see from my net worth growth, it's all a matter of principles, dedication, and time. If you want to see my previous …
Over the month of September, there wasn't any major changes across my accounts. Everything is pretty much where it was last month, with a few things going up.

September was an amazing month! I'm incredibly pleased with my net worth growth over August, if I keep this up, I'll be at $100,000 in no time! (well over it given my calculations below :P).
