I’m just wondering… if I have any readers out there who is (or studying to be) a doctor or a policemen or a firefighter or lawyer (regardless of all the lawyer jokes, when you’re [...]

You guys are too nice.

So I got my state & federal tax refund (~$1,500)… I put basically everything into the Freedom Fund and retirement portfolio. (Sidebars updated).

At work from 7 AM to 8 PM tonight.. and now it’s time to start crackin’ the books.

I’ve decided to take a week-long vacation in the fall so I can 1. visit a dear friend, and 2. luxuriate in the sun.
Can we say, Hawaiian getaway!?! -Insert excitement here-
