2023 was good, thank you market for ending up with a higher NW than when we started. I don't actually know what we spent because I wasn't tracking it through the year and apparently Mint is gone now? What are you all using to track income/expenses? (don't say by hand, Amazon pays me for every country it services and I'm not doing it by hand) Goals for 2024: All year: - Read 120 books - Set up at least one dinner party/game night with friends each month - One date night each month - Substitute teach for 10+ days Winter: - Finish final touches on music room (acoustic art, hallway floor, acoustic curtains) - Get quotes for remodeling the kitchen - Install shelving for the pantry Spring - Do a pumpkin-heavy garden - Finish remodeling the back bedroom (buy furniture, repaint) - Spring cleaning - Paint the back of the house Summer - Stain the deck - Powerwash and paint the front concrete - Redo the outside area to be more of an art zone - Run neighborhood Sunday night bonfires - Have a kickass 40th birthday party  Fall - Have a kickass 10th anniversary celebration - Go balls to the wall for Halloween decorations - Get Christmas stuff done in November

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:Thanks! I'll be sure to stop by. I did not care for "The Expectant Father" by Brott - can't really recall why at this point, it was one of the early books I read. Did "What to Expect," the Emily Oster stuff (hilarious econ brained poo poo but some useful stuff), "Bringing up Bebe" (interesting, Druckerman is an annoying narrator), and "Brain Rules for Baby" (which I liked quite a bit).

Good-Natured Filth posted:I'm sure this means you had read Beowulf out loud to your baby, but I'm imagining a rewrite of the story with Beowulf as a baby the whole time. (Which is kinda the premise of Bea Wolf - an awesome graphic novel retelling of Beowulf from a kids' imagination.)
