Description: Or how a middle aged dude with an increasingly white beard attempts to reach financial independence by learning and unlearning some things about money... and maybe has a little fun along the way
Buying 20 grand in Gamestop stock? Liquidating just over $187, 000 in American Funds? Almost buying a house? Reinvesting only $50,000 of those liquidated investments in Vanguard? Opening an Ally bank account to keep $140,000 in cash? Spending over budget in October, November, and of course December? What on Earth happened since my last spending report ?
All right. I’m not gonna lie. I did NOT invest a dime in Gamestop. But how crazy was that?
On the contrary, this blog is about trying to live more intentionally. It’s about trying to follow to get rich slowly through compounding interest approach to financial independence (FI). I’m hoping to reach FI by making decisions that help me increase savings, savings which I will in turn invest in index funds.
