If you're new here, this is the one personal finance blog that tells you how to become financially independent in 5 years instead of 30 years or more. You can read my story here and read more about where I am now here. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or use one of the other options in the top right sidebar. Thanks for visiting!

I’m off to another training session for my new job. I’m fairly excited about it because it’s a job that gives an immediate feeling of accomplishment and because of the time-control it offers. Now I discovered that it also offers significant control over our taxes. Woohoo!

In other news, check out this new supposedly green dream home. It’s green so it must be good for the environment, right? Wrong! I could write an essay to explain why this is another sign that some people just won’t ever get it, but seeing that I’m busy, I leave this as an exercise for the reader (I did learn something about life from reading textbooks! ).

Friendly reminder: Due to increased workload future weekend posts will be irregular or nonexistent.
