Our 2023 in review! Our investments did great! We also spent a lot. Like, A LOT! We completed tons of home projects, too!  (And Carl didn't lose any fingers! Bonus!)

2023 was a good year, but we have room to improve...

We didn’t do financial independence right. Too much flipping, not enough living.

Dear listeners, we hope that our story helps you.
