Road to Retirement

Retirement is on the horizon. For me I have a few years before I reach that point.  I’ve always had the goal to retire early, and as you can see below, I’ve set myself a countdown to the day, hour, and minute by which I plan to retire.

Precisely on my 45th birthday, I plan to be debt-free with a passive income strong enough to support my family and more.

The Unavoidable Bathroom Remodel

     Ok I need to take a step back in time just a bit here. I have been avoiding this one and I don’t really know why. Well, that’s not entirely true. I know why. It is directly tied to the flashbacks that are associated with this project. I’ll explain in a moment. ...
