2019年8月财务更新 yabovip.com- 返回学校版本

在这里,我们距离秋天的正式开始还有几天的路程。我们从越南,柬埔寨和泰国的八周假期中完全康复。在我们降落在罗利之后,我们立即忙于回到学校购物,以购买用品和衣服以及几轮学校取向,因为我们每个孩子都上了一所不同的学校。将少年的生日聚会/过夜送入混音中,这是一个非常忙碌的八月。

Now that the kids are back in school, the adults of the Root of Good household get to take a breather. Our daily schedule shifts from the summertime routine of waking up, touring temples and palaces, and gorging on street food to the school year routine of waking up, walking one kid to school, then returning home to sip coffee for as long as we want.

yabovip.com在财务上,上个月是一个混合的包。我们的净资产下降了34,000美元,到本月结束,价格为2,078,000美元。收入优于平均水平,为3,968美元,而八月份的费用仍为1,995美元。就我而言,收入大大超过支出的任何月份都是胜利。股票市场的微小波动在早期退休方面的长期财务成功方面并不意味着任何意义。yabovip.com

越南:从西贡高中升至湄公河三角洲

What do you do when you save a bunch of money and retire at 33? Spend months at a time traveling the world of course!

今年夏天,我们花了八周的时间探索越南,柬埔寨和泰国的寺庙,宫殿和水道。

In today’s article, we cover the first segment of the trip where we visited two cities in Vietnam. After a looooong flight from the East Coast of the USA, we landed in Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, where we stayed for eight nights. Then we visited Can Tho, Vietnam in the Mekong River Delta region for a three night stay. After leaving the Mekong Delta, we headed to Phnom Penh, Cambodia (with a short one night pit stop in Ho Chi Minh City en route).

May 2019 Financial Update – Lazy May Daze Edition

May was another successful month of early retirement. We took it easy and enjoyed a relatively slow month of leisure with family and friends. I spent a few days being a “real” blogger and influencer by attending Camp FI in Virginia where I gave a presentation titled “FIRE for Fun!”. That makes me a real blogger, right?

我们的财务是五月的混合袋子。我们的净资产急剧下降了87,000美元,以$ 2,022,000结束。幸运的是,我们的现金流情况要好得多。收入保持不错,为3,438美元,而我们的费用显着下降到5月的752美元。当收入超过流出时,您将不必担心财务太多!

2019年3月财务更新yabovip.com - 春季花粉版

Spring is definitely here in Raleigh. Warm afternoon temperatures bring us outside while green clouds of pollen filling the air push us back inside. And everything is in bloom!

We had a busy March as you’ll see in this article. April will be no different. We are just a few days away from departing for our one week cruise to Jamaica, Mexico, and Cuba. When we return, the last week of April will be filled with volunteering at our kid’s school all week and a big birthday party to close out the month.

Our March financials look great. Net worth climbed $13,000 to $2,062,000. Our spending remained low at $2,299 while our income continued to be strong at $4,553. We just wrapped up another month where income greatly exceeded spending.

墨西哥城:不仅是炸玉米饼和龙舌兰酒

To celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary, we visited Mexico City for an 11 day vacation (without kids!). We have visited the city several times before, so we didn’t plan on hitting the tourist trail too hard while in the city.

On most days we spent a few hours sightseeing and many more hours relaxing, dining, and indulging in other forms of laziness. Some days were more successfully lazy than others, but overall we took it easy.

While in the city, we visited the museums and colonial buildings in the historic center of town, toured a half dozen districts on the edge of town, and took a day trip to the pyramids at Teotihuacan.

2019年2月的财务更新 -yabovip.com 墨西哥城市版

我们又回来了,请每月更新善良的生命和时代(和财务)!2月是一场活动的旋风,在不合理的温暖天气期间,我们探索了罗利地区。然后,我们跳上一架喷气式飞机,在一个月的后半段,前往边界的南部。我们在墨西哥城度过了美好的十二天,庆祝我们的十五周年(我们和奶奶一起把孩子们留在家里!)。

早期退休的神奇时刻之一是,当您在令人兴奋的地方出发度假了几周,而您的净资产会抬高。您不会做任何事情,也会变得更富有!

That happened for us in February. Our net worth climbed by $45,000 to $2,049,000 while we were traipsing around the woods in Raleigh and hopping on subways and eating tacos across Mexico City.

Income remained strong for the month of February at $4,430. Expenses dropped to $1,537 for the month which is somewhat surprising given we spent half the month living it up on vacation.

Doing Nothing is Okay – No Apology Required

您需要在退休时提高生产力吗?还是可以整天搞砸并过休闲生活?还是退休成功的秘诀在于生产力和休闲的两个极端之间?

没有正确的答案,即您在退休时必须有多么忙碌才能满足和满足。这取决于驱动您并使您快乐的原因。对我来说,退休的前六个月非常忙碌,因为我已经习惯了十年的全职工作,而且我一直在办公室里继续生产力趋势并退休。

Within two weeks of leaving my full time job, I started this blog and felt compelled to maintain a strict publishing schedule of two or three posts per week. That meant I was spending a lot of time researching, writing, proofreading, and figuring out the technical and business side of the blog. All the while, I was the one watching our one year old son all day! Busy, busy times. And not much time for relaxation and fun.
