It’s been pretty challenging to get myself to blog the past few months as I was a bit preoccupied, but a little someone has inspired me to write again…

Logan.
Affording Parenthood.
$233,610.
According to this article on CNN, that’s around how much it’s going to cost me to raise Addie until she’s 17. Of course this doesn’t include all the fun stuff like college and when my daughter inevitably comes home after that to mooch from me and my wife for a few years until she gets a real job ;). With another baby on the way in April, we’re looking to spend a cool half million on diapers, formula, clothes, and extracurricular activities on these two little ones. Continue reading
Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
After a long hiatus, I’m back on the keyboard. Didja miss me? Maybe a little bit? 😉
What has gone on in the past few months since I’ve been away? Let me see… Continue reading
Kona.
Last week, my family and I went to the Big Island in Hawaii to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Continue reading
Summer Days of the Future Past
I’ve been lagging a lot the past few months on the blog.
With the summer months (and my newish job) it’s been difficult dedicating time to write. I’ve been blogging for over a year and I’ve realized that I don’t necessarily like writing, but I LOVE having written. It’s time for me to get back to writing. Continue reading
Your Budget, Your Life
I was recently interviewed in My Money Counts in which I discuss my relationship with my wife when it comes to managing our finances. If you haven’t done so, please check it out! Thanks Pamela for featuring me 🙂
In a previous life (i.e. 3 years ago), I couldn’t wrap my head around budgeting. This was coming from a guy who worked in finance and could Index/Match with the best of them. As a number crunching desk jockey I spend my days working in Excel. I had zero desire to create a budget spreadsheet to manage our finances. Continue reading
Behind the Screen
Writer’s block is no joke.
As I slowly get back into writing a new post for the blog I wanted to share my guest interview that was featured today on my man Andrew’s blog Family Money Plan. Continue reading
The Lonely Road of Personal Finance
I’ve been blogging about personal finance and fatherhood for over a year. I started this blog as a way to show people that this money stuff isn’t that complicated. You don’t need to be a doctor or lawyer to save, invest, or even retire early. All you need to do is pay attention. Continue reading
Why I Don’t Coupon
If you didn’t notice by now, I am ALL ABOUT saving and making money whenever I can. I save so that my family can spend on what we value most. Which if you’re not a regular reader to the blog it’s adventures, eating, and making sure Addie has a bright future.
While I’m pretty open to trying anything to save some money, the one thing I can’t get myself to do is couponing. Unless the coupon is right in front of me or is something I can quickly Google for online, I’ll pass. Continue reading
How I Travel Hacked 3 Free Round Trip Tickets to Hawaii
A special shout out to Michael The Honeymoon Guy for teaching me the ways of Travel Hacking, in which you sign up for a bunch of travel credit cards to take advantage of the signup bonuses. He wrote a post on his blog how he helped me figure out how to score my tickets to Hawaii. 🙂 This is my version of the events.
