Plan Your Perfect Week in Retirement Today

I’ve recently joined the ranks of ChooseFI Podcast listeners, and have loved it so far. In episode 23 with ESI Money, they touch on a topic I’ve started to think more about lately — what would a day look without a job? (don’t worry coworkers, it was mostly because I’ve been sick recently and have had a lot of time). It’s easy to think this would just fall into place naturally – which is a possibility for sure – but I like to be more intentional with my planning. I tend to think without structure, my days would involve floating around from one thought to the next, desperately trying to grasp for important things to do that matched what I was in the mood for.

After staying home from work sick recently, I started to realize that just wouldn’t do it for me. I need more structure and goals in my days. Otherwise, I tend to do very little. With a few keystone habits to my day, I think that would be enough to supercharge my productivity and get momentum built up.

My Personal Goals for Q3 2018 – Health, Book & Interactive Guide

I’ve tried a lot of different approaches to setting goals. I’ve set yearly goals, weekly goals, quarterly goals and even set daily tasks for myself in Todoist. I like having a plan for what I’ll spend my time on. If I wake up and need to figure out what I’ll work on that day that’s a recipe for binge-watching shows on Netflix. Even having a loose idea of the next step is incredibly helpful for me.

For Q2 2018, I set a bunch of goals – too many. When I reviewed the quarter, I realized a number of places I could improve for this quarter. With that in mind, here are my goals for Q3 while these takeaways present.

My Personal Goals Review for Q2 2018

With June coming to end, it’s time to look back on what goals I laid out for myself and see how I did! I thrive in setting goals, the bigger the better. I’m still learning to keep things realistic as I found out this past quarter. I didn’t make the kind of progress I was hoping for, but it was still a great learning experience. It had the added bonus of helping me find an interest I apparently love – hiking around Utah!

Bonus this week! I was a guest on the 2 Frugal Dudes Podcast released last week. We talk about investment allocation, index funds and even a little cryptocurrency.

The Minimal Investor ESPP Guide and Calculator

I’ll be honest, I’d never heard the term ESPP or “employee stock purchase plan” up until recently. As soon as the company I work for announced they were starting one, I began consuming everything I possibly could about them. Are they worth it? Why should I use one? What’s in it for me?

If you’re completely new to the topic and trying to wrap your head around it, then this guide is for you. I’ve been going through the same road to discovery on this issue and wanted to write up a guide about what I’ve learned while everything is still fresh in my mind.

Can you believe it’s been a year?! Every story starts in the middle. Minafi’s story is no different. Today marks what I’m calling my 1 year anniversary of blogging! In reality, I registered minafi.com on July 17, 2015 – nearly 3 years ago. So why am I celebrating my one year anniversary today on June 21st? For that, we need to take a stroll down memory lane to the years well before Minafi was an idea. I’ve mentioned that my investing story begins back in 2006…

I Just Sold My Used Car for $150,000+ FI Dollars

Written by Adam on June 18, 2018. Updated January 8, 2023.

Cars are expensive. Even if you’re buying used, the ongoing cost of car ownership is enough to make you seriously consider some combination of walking, Lyft and hitchhiking. Since we moved to Salt Lake City last November, one thing we’ve been seriously eying is the idea of getting rid of one of our two cars. Last month we finally pulled the trigger and now we’re a one-car household! The haul from the sale?  Over $150,000 financial independence dollars. Let me explain.
