In this episode, we take a look at a different type of goal. A big goal, that can get hairy at times, that will take some audacious actions over a long period of time to make a reality. We talk about the big, hairy, audacious goal. We talk about what they are, how they are different and still work with our other goal setting, and we talk a little bit about a couple BHAGs that we've established for ourselves.

This episode, we take a look at how we've been doing on our goals and check in to see what progress we've been making, as well as looking at our monthly spending. We talk about successes and failures in our goals and how we're progress, as well as digging into how the process is going. We talk through some of the adjustments we need to make to help us do better in the future. Then we delve into our monthly spending that is going to help us understand where our money is going, and what our monthly spending looks like, so that we can start to understand what our financial independence number looks like.
