The best thing you can buy with money is time.

This was supposed to be our FI year. The year we planned to say see ya to the corporate world. We set out on this path 11 years ago and a lot has changed in those years. We're at 90% of our original goal. But we're not done yet. Stay tuned.

Big milestone passed today on the way to FIRE! #500k

[Fi Big Sky @fibigsky]

From the bottom of the stock market fall out on March 20, 2020 (covid panic) to March 20, 2023, our net worth increased ~$296,500 🤯.

I don't know what the lesson is here except maybe if you could somehow afford to own a home and invest, the rest takes care of itself...

@northernexpense Haha. We "only" got a 2.5 on our 15 year. Locked mortgages are a rarity outside the US!

@mrburritobowl How'd this work out? 😉

[Fi Big Sky @fibigsky]

@mrburritobowl Wow! What a beautiful area to grow up in! I (Mrs FI) actually participated in the HGTV Dream Home sweepstakes this year for the first (and probably only) time BECAUSE its located in Whitefish. A dream home in a dream area 😉

While we no longer maintain our blog, some neat news: our assets, not including our home, are now larger than all owed debt (including our mortgage). In theory, we could pay off our home in one fell swoop. 😏

@ipickuppennies Haha good point. I suppose now that it's warm out I will have to shower more. And also work out 😉💪🏼

This week, Mr. FI and I have been taking time to stop and smell the roses during our work week (Tulips actually, but you get it). Taking breaks and just enjoying the outdoors does wonders for the mind. https://t.co/4s0fJdmRxz

Our yard is loving these spring showers. The tulips are about done but the lilacs are coming next. Love this time of year! https://t.co/cjNvDXMhDr

After seeing the how well TLRE handles traveling Europe on a budget, I think we might have to buddy up with them next time ;) https://t.co/SDVZMtBLHd

Never fear, summer is (basically) here. Time for homemade pizzas with fresh veggies on top. https://t.co/PZTKwpci1F
