I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 3 years, and plan to continue doing so.

I started the Friday Firsts sections as a way of keeping track of some of my “firsts” as I dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Things seem to be settling down, but I will keep it for now–more as a way to be aware and thankful of what is happening in my life.

Soon To Be: Debt-Free

It’s been a busy week or two in the Physician in Numbers household. I think this will be a much shorter post.

My big excitement is that, one day after this posts, our last car payment will be sent in! That’s right, no more mortgage, no more car payment. Our only debt will be whatever we charge that month to our credit cards; we pay that off every month, so I would consider us debt-free at that point.

Are My Finances Being Sunk By Subscriptions?

One of the pieces of advice I frequently read in articles on saving money is to examine your subscriptions and get rid of those you don’t use.
