If you're new here, this blog will give you the tools to become financially independent in 5 years. Here is how I did it and here is how I currently do it. The method is robust and replicable (no need to win the lottery, start a blogging business, or win at real estate), but not easy; much in the same way that a diet results in weight loss but is hard to follow persistently unless you set your mind to it. The key is to save 75%+ of your net income and invest it in income producing assets (bonds and dividend stocks). There is a "21 day" step-by-step plan for how to get to 75% in the left side bar. I try not to be too trite, so if I cover a topic, you will probably not see it again for a very long time, thus you may want to read the older posts here and here. Also, check out my answers to frequently asked questions and while you're at it, don't forget to subscribe to the blog via google or RSS.
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.
This week I only participated in a couple of carnivals.
