March 5, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

February had a wild finish. Lot’s of moving pieces and, of course, the market dropped like a rock. How are we handling the market correction?

Sorting Through the Nutritional Noise

February 20, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

Confused about what constitutes good nutrition? Yeah, me too. My wife and I have been interested in eating healthier and have been reading articles and watching documentaries. In our search to find a consensus, we found there isn’t one. In fact, the more we looked into it, the more questions we had. So I wanted to summarize what we’ve learned and how we’ve tried to piece together a diet.

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.

But first things first… how did we do in January?

Net Worth Update 25: The 2010s – In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Lion

January 2, 2020 by Mr. Heartland on FIRE

And just like that, another decade bites the dust. I started the decade as a recent college grad with nearly a net worth hovering near -$50,000 and almost zero financial IQ and ended the decade married, with children, a rental house, and a net worth over $500,000. What a ride!

Speaking of that net worth… wanna see how we did in December?
