I've been a longtime lurker on this board and I enjoy reading about all your progress.
As a young person (24 years) I have been extremely lucky to receive a small windfall. However, also stupid enough (until now at least) to acquire some very expensive assets.
Unloading these assets will take a long time so bear with me. Lifestyle creep is a bastard and I will have to take some time to find prober alternatives, i-e. living situation. Stuff I need to do:
- Downsize car ($100,000 -> $30,000)
- Sell my condo (actually appreciated for the time being about $200,000)
I might be able to live with my girlfriend in her condo. It is a lot smaller but my share of the costs would only be $300-$400 monthly. With this change and living frugally I might achieve a really nice savings rate!
Maybe I've bought a lot of expensive, stupid stuff but now I want to buy the most expensive, reasonable thing someone can buy: FI.
The updates of this journal will probably be far apart but I would love to keep it as a timeline for my progress. Eventually I will include my networth, income, expenses and SWR.
