End of 2021 Final Update!

So 2021 is over and here’s how I finished the year. Goal #1 – Financial – This year we wanted to increase our Net Worth by 10% and with the market being as friendly as it has been (even with the doldrums at the end of the year), we’re up a CRAZY 39.7% for the year! Utterly crazy and I’m super glad it happened. Goal #1 – Exceeded! Goal #2 – Health – I have lost a little bit of weight, but my pants are looser and my belts are way too big. But I was able to smash my desired biking record of 50 miles. I finished in October…

Jay’s Shocking Update

So, wow. I guess I did it. I accomplished one of my goals. On Saturday, August 28, 2021, I biked 51.4 miles in a row. It was not pleasant; not bad, really.. But, I did it!! Thank’s for the extra updated coins, Heath! This trip took us out past Beltway 8 and Grand Parkway 99. Just a really long morning! So that’s one goal completed! I’m really pumped about that!

Jay’s August Update

So happy birthday to me! This month I’ve gotten a little older and hopefully a littler wiser. Lets check the progress towards the goals I sat at the beginning of the year. Goal #1 – Financial – This year we wanted to increase our Net Worth by 10% and with the market being as friendly as it has been, we’re up a CRAZY 32.6% for the year! That’s insane and something that will probably never happen again in our lifetimes; I’m glad we were in the market when that happened! Goal #1 – Exceeded! Goal #2 – Health – I have not lost any weight, but I am told I’m…

Jay’s Update – Early May Edition

OK; so lets check in and see how we’re doing. Well, the past few weeks have been pretty crazy. My company got acquired and so I’ve been working tons of extra hours on the integration.. Don’t get me started! The end result is that I haven’t spent nearly enough time or effort on my goals for 2021. But I still have been pushing as much as I can. Lets tally and see where we are! Goal #1 – Financial – We’ve both maxed out our IRA’s for the year, contributed to our various other retirement accounts, and we’ve invested into our taxable brokerage accounts. There’s been some ups and downs,…
