This past week was really wonderful. I’m an uncle for the first time! My first niece, Avery LynnAnn, was born this past Thursday morning. And I couldn’t be more excited. I’m pretty convinced I’m going to be the best uncle ever. So this entire weekend is going to be devoted to spending as much time […]

I’m getting this post out a day later than I had planned, which pushes back some other articles. But that’s okay. We’re in the thick of summer and it’s meant to be enjoyed! I’ve certainly been busy over the last few days, which is why this is coming out late. I met my best friend for […]

June is almost over. And with that we reach the halfway point of 2014. Crazy, right?  You’re telling me! It’s been a memorable year for me personally with all the changes in my personal and professional life, and in life you often find yourself compromising. But I’m in a great place right now, and I’m […]

It’s a beautiful weekend here in Michigan. It’s currently about 70 degrees, and it’s supposed to heat up to about 75 by mid-afternoon. I haven’t really been exposed to a Midwestern summer in many years, but I do remember what I’m missing now. Of course, we’ll see how much I like living up here when […]

I’m going to leaving fairly early on Friday for a four-hour trip to Omena, Michigan, where my oldest sister is hosting her 30th birthday party. Obviously, I’m very excited to be able to participate in events like this easily now that I live back in Michigan. Since I’ve been back home I’ve been spending a lot […]

The weekend is here and summer’s just getting started. Life is good! I’m looking forward to a new regimen of frugality, which should allow me some free capital to continue purchasing high-quality dividend growth stocks at attractive valuations. However, while I believe I’ve got the savings side figured out, the stock market isn’t giving me a lot […]

Well, I’m so far just a few days into my newfound freedom as I’ve set my ship for new waters. And it’s wonderful! I really couldn’t be happier right now. I’m no longer a service advisor at a luxury car dealership working more than 50 hours per week, and I’m now instead writing and investing full-time (for […]

Spring is in the air! This time of year is just wonderful, isn’t it? The birds are chirping, and the weather is finally warming. Well, down here in Florida it’s always warm, but you get my drift. I write this post to you today at a bit of a crossroad in my life. My work […]

What a week it’s been! I finally completed the move from Blogger to WordPress after a very busy and stressful period of buying hosting with HostGator, canceling my account with them, and then repurchasing hosting with Liquid Web because of capacity and customer service issues with the former. Couldn’t be happier with my decision thus […]

We’re already coming up on the last week here in January. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it almost seems as if time continues to pass me by at a faster rate the older I get. I remember being in high school and sitting in science class and that hour seemed like it […]
