No, no, I’m not loaded with passive income or hit a monthly income mark. And while I’m thrilled the Patriots won their fourth Super Bowl, that isn’t really what I’m here to talk about.

During my online absence, I married a stunningly beautiful girl who (surprisingly) can tolerate, and even appreciate, my quirks and poor humor. Needless to say, between the combining of two lives […]

For me, goal setting is an enabler, of course in the most positive way possible. Goal setting helps feed my addiction for investment analysis and investing […]

The opportunity to enjoy time spent with family, friends, and loved ones. For me the holidays are a tough and somewhat awkward time. I attempt to avoid the materialistic disaster that is the modern-day holiday season, while trying to maximize the relaxation and enjoyment found in the sharing of memories and […]

The beauty of compounding investments is that they continue to work for you while you sleep, while you work, and while you play. There has certainly been some growth in my investments these […]

Switching my theme and the look of my website over the next week starting today. As can be expected with such a change and with a rookie blogger like myself, I’m liable to screw things up! With that being said, I hope the new look helps to make things […]

I am a numbers guy at heart. Give me a spreadsheet and I will be a happy and contented man. I even have t-shirts that tout my love for Excel. But I digress; writing itself isn’t always a struggle for me, but the associated proofreading and editing of that writing? Yikes. […]
