Beard, bass and a birthday (America’s, not mine)
Hi guys! It’s June 30th which to me is a FIRE holiday! The year is somehow half over so how are your stats? We’ve managed only to put away about 11k savings so far (goal is 30k for year so a bit behind) BUT our investments have grown 84k. That’s 73k growth without us—I attribute that to our imaginary roommate—Compound Jones. My wife and I only make about 115/year so this 73 from our friend is quite nice.
I hope the second half keeps trending the right way but I’ll try not freaking out if it doesn’t.

Anyone here do this one? It’s located in Big Rapids Michigan.
Debating it but curious just how rough the powerlines section might be? I know it’s not a fast course but also don’t want to be super slow either.
Really giving it a valiant effort to grow a beard, but maybe I’m doing it wrong, I’ve been shaving my entire neck as I feel the contrast from hair to no hair makes my semi weak growth a little more noticeable.
I’m now reading that’s called a chin strap and isn’t the best received, and I should be letting the hair grow just north of the Adam’s Apple. Is that the general consensus?
Back when I started getting really FIRE serious, I’d cut dishwashing sponges in half so obviously the entire package would last twice as long. Now we are basically coast FI but I can’t stop cutting them. They’re kinda adorable actually. I stood over the sink last night debating the cut…..I know I can afford not to cut it, but I couldn’t help myself.
Just a weird observation.
