Fitness Log #281, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness

I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 5 years, and plan to continue doing so.

Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by.

BOARDS Are Coming!

I’m not sitting my repeat specialty boards for a few more weeks, but I’m finding that I have less time to blog these days.

Lava coming down a mountain with billowing clouds. Two small figures look at the lava pool. The bay of Naples is seen on the right.
What my life feels like right now

I will likely continue publishing my Friday Fitness posts, but the Monday posts may need to go on hiatus until April.

See you on the other side!

Am I FI?

As I noted in my post about my net worth at the end of 2023, said net worth went up quite a bit since the beginning of 2023. Actually, it went up by a lot.

I’m still thinking about my annual spending for 2023, but it’s clear that my net worth is more than 25 times that amount. My net worth is even more than 25 times my expected spending, i.e. my current spending, plus extra spending to cover health insurance costs, increased travel, anticipated large costs in the future (a new car, a new roof, etc.)

According to guidelines suggested by the Trinity study, if I have assets (liquid assets, no less) of 25 times my spending needs–such that I can live off of a 4% return–I ought to be able to live on my investments for the next 30 years. With a good chance of having lots left over for my heirs when I die.

So, am I FI (financially independent)?
