2022 Goal Progress – September

August has been pretty slow regarding finances. My initial goals/targets for wealth are slipping away quickly due to pretty high volatility throughout the year. My personal training business, Nathan's Mobile PT, is growing at a steady pace and I'm seeing more consistent monthly revenue. I'm currently working on some 30-day challenges and wanting to get …

FIRE Progress – July 2022

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 …

2021 Goal Progress – December

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 …

2021 Goal Progress – February

Is it just me, or is 2021 already flying by? Either way, another month, another progress review. This is my first progress review for 2021. Throughout January, I recognised that I was going very well towards most of my goals, but also knew that I probably wouldn't hit some of them. If you want to …

FIRE Progress – June 2020

Throughout May, pretty much all of my money accounts (investments, savings, super) increased. At 1 June 2020, I was really happy to see that my total net worth crossed the $50,000 mark! It's really great to see this and to see how this has increased over time (and even this current year). While there was …

FIRE Progress – May 2020

From April to May, my networth increased by 29.3% to $44,166. It was quite a jump from April, but it probably jumped so much because my net worth actually decreased 14% throughout March to April - spurred on by the decreased amounts in investments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting close to my goal of …
