Weekly Pain & Gain: Money and the Capsule

Weekly Pain & Gain: Money and the Capsule

Earning, Weekly Pain & Gain
Weekly columns are a nice quick way to give you all some updates on whats happening here at the Traveling Wallet HQ. This is specially useful if I can't seem to get a full post out on specific idea topic. I have seen lots of bloggers take part  in a weekly update sort of post so I am going to give it a shot myself. I actually have been wanting to do one since tax season where I was going to talk about the awesome refund and whine about an unexpected charge but that one never made out into the public. I want to end on the happy note so I will discuss our pains and then our gains. Also since I am currently in the midst of a 3…

Quarter 1 review of goals

Actually I guess its not a quarterly review as much as a trimester review. Jan- April. So part of making goals public is that they help you with accountability right? Well things have not been going well on all fronts. I am just going to hit these all fast and hard... Is what I was going to say, but who am I kidding :) Starting from the top and working my way down.

One More Year Syndrome

Earning, Family, Finance
I have given up writing beautiful prose.(don't laugh) Instead of just not ever publishing because of limited time I think I'm just going to start publishing my thoughts as they come. Some I think would be useful to my readers and other well they might just be good practice for me. (Besides it's not like I can't go back and delete the really bad ones) So here goes you have all been warned. Actually what I should have is a weekly wrap up like so many other bloggers have. But again then I wait because it's unfinished and never end up publishing because the moment has passed. So let's get started. I'm suffering from the one more year syndrome. But first let's take a step back. Life changes so fast.…

Extra Income Challenge Wrap Up

As the Roamer here at the Traveling Wallet, I am reading up on how to optimize. One of my goals is to retire early and another is to be a better parent. One of the methods I plan to use to reach these goals is by diversifying my income stream. If I can earn income from home then I can be home with my kids. If I can earn side hustle income while holding a 9-5 then I can save more aggressively and reach FIRE.(That's Financial Independence Retire Early for any new to the term.) Which means that the sooner I reach it the sooner I can stay home with my kids. It's a never ending circle of finding a way to spend more time with the kids! So one…
