| Things have changed a little bit from last month as I will no longer be extended my tour of duty overseas. As a result of myself not extending, I will not be earning an extra $300 per month.
Markets have been doing very well, but I am still continuing to chip away at my debt/my mother's debt. My goal is to get rid of my smallest balance (~6,400) before the end of the year and role those payments into my larger credit card payments.
I also purchased a book called How to Retire the Cheapskate Way by Jeff Yeager at the PX. It is a quick, easy read that reminds me a lot of the book called The Millionaire Next Door.
So far, it has served as a great read that offers a different view of how to retire successfully. Essentially, it talks about living below one's means, retiring debt free and offering different tips about how to successfully live in retirement. I am enjoying it quite a bit and will incorporate some of his tips into my retirement planning in the future. |
