Supposed to be working today, but instead i'm looking at flights to California for October.

Do you have a side hustle?
Earlier this year, I was really consistent with my blog, but it doesn't earn money. i'm definitely interested to hear how people are moaking money outside of their main gig.

@partnersinfire please no!

OK midwest. we're one week from mid march, can the snow be over?

[daniel @MarginStudies]

I know the core focus of FI seems to be housing / food / transportation. but I have a hardcore coffeeshop habit that I can't shake.

Honestly, i'm not sure I want to - this extrovert has a hard time working mostly from home.

Today was a sunday, but I also happened to spend 7 hours sorting through 2018 business financials in anticipation of tax time. #selfemployed

Signing up for Vanguard accounts, this feels like i'm a member of the FI community now.

Looking to consolidate from a Robo advisor as well as a roth IRA at another firm.

Self employed life is weird. in one crazy focused day, I can make what I used to make in a manufacturing role over an entire week. Thankful for this life.

Being on the path to #FinancialIndependence and having F-You money is really freeing. Over the past 6 months: I've...
-discovered my passions,
-left a job that made my miserable,
-accepted a part-time job,
-and made many other small improvements to my life.

#Freedom

Chia pudding is currently blowing my Keto-diet-following mind.

Good things have happened too! It just has been easy to deprioritize the fi journey. The themes I set for this year are simplicity and focus, and it's interesting to see which ways these themes come forward.

[daniel @MarginStudies]

Life has really happened to me over the last month. I'm here. I'm back!

Oh hey, I MAXED OUT MY ROTH IRA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! Now to repeat it for 2019 😅

[daniel @MarginStudies]

Yesterday I did two trips to a couple bars around town with two different. and paid for nearly all of it, (rationalizing as a business expense is a consolation prize) but WOW am I paying for it today. #not22anymore

@NewMillInvestor Shawn, it's super cool that you are tracking your daily spending here on twitter. It's a wakeup call for me, because i'm pretty sure i spent 300 last weekend 😱
