Savings Goal Update #6

It has been over 3 months, since my last savings goal update article. Things have gotten pretty crazy as my wife and I booked a full fall. It has been great, but exhausting at the same time! With our busy fall, I gave myself permission to not focus so much on new articles and just be fully present all the time. Now, I have found time to sprinkle some articles in over the past 4 months. I found the time to write those articles while I was on flights by myself. I just edited and added to these articles as it came time to post. Now, that I dug into our busy schedule and lack of posting, what have we been doing?

One Really BIG Savings Goal for 2019

One Really BIG Savings Goal for 2019

Goals, plans and new years resolutions. Those are the things that people do each year in anticipation for a brand new year. They’re going to make changes for the better. They’re going to start working out or losing weight. They’re going to buy a new home or pay a crazy amount of the mortgage off this year. Most new year’s resolutions are short term and only really focus on one year. It makes sense to focus on a small timeframe to make things attainable. However, I have never been a big new year’s resolution fan, as most people don’t follow through with their resolutions.

Our Saving Process

Last summer, I wrote an article titled, "Americans Not Prepared for Emergencies." This article sparked some interest from some of my friends and some readers. They insisted that not everybody knows how to save and suggested that I write an article about strategies. With that advice in hand, I have finally decided to tackle the "How do you save?" question. 

Living A Life of Contentment

Living A Life of Contentment

Earlier this summer, I was feeling frustrated that our savings account wasn’t growing as fast as I had hoped.  Don’t get me wrong, it was growing a couple thousand dollars a month, but I wasn’t content in that.  I wanted to be financially free today.  This mindset can be very dangerous, because it can lead to people going out and making risky decisions.
