Notes:
Been focused on dropping the expense load in 2024. Got close to the goal number for January. Sold some stock in January to lock in gains - especially on the tech side. Looking to position cash coming in for buying opportunities during the election year.

Great progression over time! Just curious what your approximate goal number is?

Thank you for the compliment. That expense goal number is something like $10k or less per month. With a wife and two teenage kids, it can be challenging.

I'm feeling that same challenge, brother, and I've conceded my defeat. My new approach is to try to out-earn my college daughter's spend. It's not like they're profligate spenders, either, they're good responsible spenders. But between rent, tuition, groceries, and this devilish inflation, it's like maintaining three separate inflating household budgets on a single income.

I like the idea of increased earnings above the spend. I go between this approach and managing the expense load. I am trying not to stress about the expense load as much as I can only reduce this so much as this point in life. On the other hand, I know I can make more in my current job but not sure I want to make the time tradeoff it requires. The dilemma I grapple with.
