Here you can find where I’m at on my journey to FIRE. This is by no means bragging, I am clearly in no position to do so… The goal is to inspire you, if you are ahead congratulations and you can use this as a motivation to keep consistent and not let me catch you. If you are not so far then I hope this motivates you to begin and keep up with the good work!

I use Firefly III to track all my money, in and out. And I have done it retroactively for all the money I earned and spent even as a teenager. Yes, I know… I like spreadsheets and tracking. But for the purpose of this blog, I summed the numbers in more broad categories and lost a lot of detail because I don’t think it would help you in any specific way and would only expose myself for nothing.
