My new Audible course on financial independence and early retirement!

Writing a blog about financial independence and writing a course about financial independence are two different things. I spend the ninth lecture addressing problems that people encounter when they pursue financial independence — and offering possible solutions to those problems. this project is the best introduction to financial independence and early retirement available. I think it's an excellent intro to the core concepts of the financial independence and early retirement movement.

The power of low expectations

Yes, I was producing ten articles per week, but I was falling short of my goal to produce twelve articles per week. The piece features some recent wisdom from Munger that directly relates to the fundamental equation of wellbeing: A happy life is very simple. When your circumstances improve, you feel an initial burst of excitement because your new life is better than your old life. From the time I left for college in 1987 until the time Kris and I bought our second home in 2004, everything about my life constantly improved upon what had come before.

An ice-cold update

Kim and I spent Friday afternoon prepping our yard for ice. Like many other Porltanders, we booked a room in a local hotel for a couple of nights so that we could shower, shave, and have some warmth. I spent the past two nights sleeping alone with our beasts in a cold, cold house. Right now, I'm grabbing a few hours of access from a friend who has graciously allowed me to use his office for the afternoon.

Becoming a frugalvore: How to eat well for less

Keep in mind that some items are discounted seasonally, such as frozen foods in March, eggs in April, dairy items in June, canned goods in September, and turkeys in November. My DF uses the Just4U program through Safeway to get us decent prices on staples like milk and bananas, and when he earns enough Just4U points he can trade them in for certain grocery items. You're much more likely to be able to download them directly to your store card from the store's website or from a site like Coupon Mom. But both emporia also put food items out as loss leaders, and in the case of dollar stores always have some pretty good deals, such as a pound and a half of macaroni for a buck.
