Net Worth

Welcome to the end of the year and another net worth update. 2024 has been a banner year for both professional and financial growth. On the business side, we saw revenues increase by an incredible 35%. More and more of you reach out for unbiased financial advice each year, and my wife and I absolutely…

Welcome to another net worth update. I’ve been tracking and reporting my net worth twice a year for the past decade or so. It’s a good way to check on our financial progress and keep us on track with our goals. We’re at the stage of our journey where forces outside of our control can…

This year turned out to be a great one, both financially and for our lifestyle. We got everything we wanted out of our new house. We love having a dedicated office space and a home gym. Our kids can easily walk to school. Our dog even has a huge field in which to run around…

I’m a real person and wrestle with financial decisions just like everyone else.…

It’s time for my biannual net worth update where I share all of the numbers on my quest to reach millionaire status by the end of this year. It’s not going to be easy, as the global pandemic has impacted everyone’s finances to some degree. I want to start by acknowledging how incredibly fortunate we…
