The Year Of Reading: 2023 Goals & Accomplishments
Guess what 🙂 ? This is the 500th post on this blog!!! That number is completely wild to me, but I guess that’s what happens when I do something for almost a decade. Ridiculous. Anyway, thank you for being here 🙂 . Now let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Throughout the year, I like to write down new things I’ve learned, read, watched and experienced to try and remember what each year entailed and how they differ.

What Contributed More To My Net Worth: A Six Figure Salary Or Investment Returns?
In this time of stock market uncertainty, I thought it might be helpful to look at the upside and put a positive spin on things when the market seems to be dripping blood red 🙂 . The market has shown a bit of the downside of investing this year – or rather, one of the moments that dictate if someone will be a successful longterm investor. Freaking out and selling during a downturn will unfortunately not lead to longterm success. Continue reading “What Contributed More To My Net Worth: A Six Figure Salary Or Investment Returns?”
The Month Of New Hampshire: August 2022 Recap
2022 continues to pass by with the speed of a bullet train. I guess I’m having too much fun 😉 . This month we continued our exploration of the northeast – we like to come here in the summer if possible since it’s cooler than other parts of the country.
