I'm Mr. B and we are working towards #FIRE by focusing on dividends and budgeting while trying to enjoy the journey.

Solar panels are on track to save us $3,000 dollars a year in energy costs. That's before they start moving up! Come check out how they work! https://t.co/TQ9MVcQxa8

We are loving our solar panels! We are on pace for $3,000 dollars in energy savings in year one. That means they will pay for themselves in about 10 years! Here's the details. https://t.co/TQ9MVcQxa8

I found the first 2 months of #FIRE to be time for a good break from the blog and financials in general. Kids are back in school though, so time to get back at it. Here's our August #FIRE update. https://t.co/S55N8G074y

@AllStarMoney_ @iamsandysmith2 @avgjoe_finances @MFbythesea @mrmoneymustache Thanks for the call out!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

@BusinessFamous Absolutely not, you have to actually save some of that money. Too many people spend it all plus some.

@FIRE_DownUnder Google Docs as well, nice because you can access it anywhere!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

One of the first things I've noticed after leaving my full time job is I no longer spend all week wishing it was Friday. :)

#FIRE day has happened! In week 1 of no work, and it's been great so far! https://t.co/oqIaZSSz3t

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

Just walked out the door for the last time. Cube was way messier than I thought I left it. :) fun to basically see a snapshot of 16 months ago. Time for the next adventure!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

Last day the alarm clock goes off for work! First time in the office today for over 16 months!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

Definitely have felt like work has moved on without me this last week of work. No real emails and a lot of free time. :) Just a reminder that big corporations will always be OK without you, prioritize yourself first!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

@SenseofCents Nice article! Really fascinating to see how the nomad lifestyle works!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

One day of work left to go! Then Coast FIRE here we come. Here's our June #FIRE update. https://t.co/A407Qd2kmN

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

For people who have left their jobs and had COBRA as an option: Did you end up using COBRA or just jumping right to another healthcare option? It looks like we can buy a plan that is around $250 cheaper a month. Weird timing considerations though... https://t.co/gY9TYLmCdH

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

I'm starting my last week of corporate work this week before hitting Coast FIRE, it's been a nice few weeks of saying goodbye! https://t.co/U8IS8hM11Q

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

I resigned last week and have just a couple of more weeks until Financial Independence. It's been a fun journey and I thought I would capture how that last week went. https://t.co/U8IS8hM11Q

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

Well I officially quit my job today and my manager was really happy for me. Other than that though, silence from HR and anyone else. I guess I thought more would happen when you resign. :) Maybe tomorrow??? https://t.co/U8IS8hM11Q

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

@ninetofire Thanks!

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

It's finally happening! Putting in my notice today at work to start the full #FIRE journey next month! I'll share how the day goes on my blog! At this point, just feeling ready and excited! https://t.co/U8IS8hM11Q

[GameofBudgets @GameofB]

It's official! I have put in my notice and offered to stay until July 9th. Waiting for HR now to say what is next. I have a great manager, his first comments were how excited he was for me!
