The Month Of Upstate NY: June 2024 Recap

Time seriously needs to slow down because this is getting ridiculous 🙂 . 2024 is half over and I’m barely used to saying the year correctly. Oh well 🙂 .

The Month Of Arizona: May 2024 Recap

I’m going to need time to slow down a little because this is getting ridiculous 🙂 . I’m still not used to writing “2024” and we’re almost halfway through, so either my brain needs to catch up or time needs to slow down – obviously I’m picking the easier solution 😉 .

However, it still makes me laugh that traveling once per week wore me down so much when I used to travel just for a weekend. No wonder I was tired all the time 🙂 . Anyway, let’s see what I got up to during my less wild May and try to get my brain to realize it’s now June 2024.

When I announced that my partner hit his FI number on Instagram, someone commented (and I quote in its entirety): “Blog Post.” So here is “Blog Post.” I unsurprisingly vetoed using that as the actual blog post title, but here is my lovely Partner to tell you about his journey to FI, based on questions y’all submitted in my Instagram stories. Take it away my dude! Continue reading “My Partner Reached FI!!! A Q&A”
