Net Worth Update 30 – Max Q

June 4, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

Max Q is a state in the aerospace industry where a rocket reaches its maximum dynamic pressure. It puts the rocket at the very edge of its design capacity. In some respects, May felt that way. There was (and still is) a lot going on. There is never a dull moment! With that in mind, how did we do?

Net Worth Update 29: Bizarro World

May 7, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

This year seems like an extended episode of the Twilight Zone. Every day something new and extremely weird seems to crop up. Often times things seem to be completely out of sync.

Net Worth Update 26: Back At It

February 6, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

It’s time for our first Net Worth Update of the year… wait, the Decade! We made substantial progress in the last few years of the 2010s after wondering in the financial wilderness for the first half. I am excited to see how far we can go with a whole decade (and compounding) to work with.
