2020 Recap: -Substantial growth in liquid assets from shoveling as much money as we could (since we didn't travel as much as we usually do) -Mortgage has 14 years to go at 2.625%...finally putting this in print for the sake of motivation, but as long as we stay on course, when that mortgage is done, we should be FI with a buffer to spare. Just more motivation I guess. Still have a rental property and long-term tenants that have been amazing and didn't lose their jobs. -A bit of guilt because in a year where Covid19 destroyed lives and I felt like I never do enough as a black man to fight for the downtrodden, this was the best financial year of my life. Even working in mental health, I truly learned the meaning of stress eating. Somehow I didn't gain a megaton of weight because I kept my metabolism at high flow with nervous energy...yay??? Oh brother, I need to keep focused. -Didn't meet side-hustle monetary goals but I don't care because it's a fun hobby. 2021 goals: -Max out retirement accounts/HSA as usual -Add at least the amount of money that I added last year into the taxable brokerage account -Once the rest of the family is vaccinated, plan/fund trip to Australia. The trip itself may not happen this year, but I want the planning to be established as a 40th birthday gift for my wife. -Double revenue for side-hustle Personal goals (ad infinitum at this point) -Work out 4 times per week, average 1 hour per day -Read one book per week on average -Engage at least one quality social contact outside of work each month -Complete one home maintenance/improvement task each month, no matter how small
