Happy 2024

Wow!

I can't believe it's been over 2 years already!

So much time has passed... where to even begin lol


Whelp, for starters...

i'm still at that job my buddy got me in at. It's been almost 27 months and I'm still here. (really Cra-Cra for me!)

The contract was only supposed to be about 15 months... which was fine-by-me since they were paying a King's Ransom.
But towards the end of 2022 (around Thanksgiving), they asked if i wanted to stay on for another year...

so i did!   LOL
I decided to sacrifice 2023 so that i could Bank a huge pile of cash.
Very Inconsistent behavior for those who know me...
Giving up my Vacation Time purely for the sake of Money is Blasphemy!

But yeah.... i took the $$$ 
(and then 12 months later... i did it again lol)

Okay... so time out.
i guess i should probably mention that i also kinda hopped aboard the F.I.R.E. bandwagon. I'm trying to pull off this BDE / hare-brained scheme of banking Half a Mil into the stock market... and then letting the magic of compound interest carry me the rest of the way. 

Whether or not i will be able to pull this off... is another story  :P
but 2023 was another productive year. I was able to contribute to & reach 2.3/10 of my goal! I'm essentially knocking on the door of Stage 7.
and by my Caluclations... i'm only 48 months away from Stage 8.

At that point, i could consider quitting I.T... and finding something else to do part-time.
Hell... i might even be able to pack up and move to that tiny house overseas!
(oh yeah... forgot to mention that i made a 40k bet on a vacation home getaway lol)

More on that later!
