Wow! Ten years later...

January 31st, 2022 at 08:20 pm

I can't believe it's been TEN YEARS since my last blog post.  That is an incredibly long amount of time!  I was reading through some of my blog posts in 2012 and the transition from where we were then to where we are now is exciting and hopefully motivating for some.  I'll try to update everything over the next few posts to get up to speed.  The summary though is quite fun to work through.

1) We're completely 100 percent debt free house and all.

2) Our net worth and household income are the highest they've ever been.  I'd hopefully expect that ten years later but we've stayed on course and built a solid nest egg.  It'll continue to grow as we continue to age (hopefully!)

3) We still budget every penny using YNAB and we are now way more invested in our investments (no pun intended).  We use Personal Capital to manage everything on that side of the equation.  FWIW I also use Mint for a more visual view of the picture.

4) Our two kids are now 31 and 28 and both are working full time.  We now have two grandbabies (ages 9 and 1) and we have a lot more freedom to spoil and spend time with them when we're not working.

I'm going to get a lot more granular in the posts to follow but that's a quick synopsis of where we stand.  It's on much more solid ground than we ever would've thought of when I started this blog in 2007 (that's 15 years ago...sheesh!)  Hopefully 2022 is treating everyone financially well so far.  Happy saving.
