Congrats dev, that is kickass! This month is a good month: my retirement savings just passed the 100k mark, something I'd hoped would happen before I turned 30, success! And my boss just gave me a $6600 bonus

Speaking of self-publishing, talked with my boss about leaving to become a full-time author. He was excited for me and told me I had a job waiting for me anytime. aw yeah.

I feel incredibly confident about my financial future. I have financial goals and a plan for getting there. It feels good, man. Here's to saving more money in 2015  Congrats!!

Holy woot, just broke a quarter million dollars in income for the year! If you had told little kid me that someday I would be writing novels for a living, I would not have believed it. I doubt I'll pull it off again next year since I'd like to work less, not more, but saving most of this year's money should last me a while

7 novels/novel-length series. A couple of those were co-written, though, so it's not as much work as it seems. I'm hoping to write a novel each month for 2015 and alternate between my old pen names and new ones. All of them in romance. I'm going to try romantic comedy this next year, crossing my fingers that takes off since it's really what I love to write. edit: it's really stupid because I hang out with all these amazing writers (including a few goons) who put out much more stuff and have been making much more than me. So even with all the success I have, I look at them and think I'm a total loser because I can't write 40k words each week, ha!

Aliquid posted:This is against your own advice in the Self Publishing thread; I guess you earned it no, poo poo, you're right. I actually got so far as making the cover before realizing that I should be shooting for the FSOG audience with my new one, a billionaire dating reality TV show premise. It'll be funny, but that won't be the angle I use to market it. Another writer friend of mine hit the top 10 on Amazon with a romantic comedy marketed as billionaire romance, so it looks like that's where I'm headed (the marketing, not top 10. Although, crossing my fingers!) I popped in here to say that I just maxed my roth for this year. It sucks not knowing what I can put in my solo 401k until I get my taxes done so hey, gotta get my taxes done!

Crossing my fingers that I get so ballin I have to go back and undo my Roth contributions for the year, haha! But now that I'm married I have a bit more leeway, too.

WTF, duck sushi? My little win for this past week was my laptop cracked wide open at the corner and I was pricing out new ones but I decided to try my hand at repairing since why not. Disassembling it was terrifying, so many little parts! Ten minutes of Youtube tutorials and $12 worth of epoxy and screwdrivers later, and now I am a Computer God.

I passed the certified financial planner exam!!! They still won't give me the CFP marks until I meet the 6000 hour experience requirement, because apparently posting on here doesn't count as "relevant experience" according to those fuckers at the CFP board. Whatever, jerks.
