July Update – One Year On

August 2, 2019 / Path to Fire / 8 Comments

It's hard to believe it has been over a year since the beginning of our journey to financial independence. In that time we have paid down $31,096.56 in debt, averaging $2,591.38 per month. This is a huge achievement for us, and at times it hasn't been easy mentally to stay the course. There have been unexpected expenses … Continue reading July Update – One Year On

June Update

July 1, 2019June 29, 2019 / Path to Fire / Leave a comment

Greetings all! Can you believe it is the end of the financial year? How exciting! I look forward to those lovely tax offsets and a slightly nicer return than last year. That return sure as heck won't be used how the government intends for us, being funnelled straight into our debt commitments. As mentioned last … Continue reading June Update

May Update

June 1, 2019May 30, 2019 / Path to Fire / 2 Comments

Another month down on our path to FIRE! It is crazy to think that it has already been 10 months since we started tracking our financial position, and during that time I am happy to say we have paid off $27,194.73 at an average of $2,719.47 per month. This is a great achievement that we are very proud of. … Continue reading May Update

April Update

May 11, 2019May 11, 2019 / Path to Fire / Leave a comment

Greetings all! Quite a late post yet again. We moved house over the last couple of weeks and I haven't had time to update the blog. This month looks terrible on paper due to the move but we are loving our new place and are much happier! After the move our trusty washing machine of … Continue reading April Update

March Update

April 2, 2019 / Path to Fire / Leave a comment

Ahoy! Apologies for the late post, work has been full on. Since February I've travelled 9000 kms for work and have had little time, so this one will be a short update on how we are tracking this month and some quick thoughts. Now lets look at the numbers: Forecast Mar Consolidation Loan  $ 8,711.50 … Continue reading March Update

February Update

March 1, 2019February 27, 2019 / Path to Fire / 1 Comment

Welcome to the February update! Another slow month as we are still holding some cash as we adjust to receiving one of our salaries monthly. I spent a bit of time reworking our spreadsheets this month, tidying them up, while also incorporating some feedback from Reddit that I should invert our line graphs so that … Continue reading February Update

January Update

February 2, 2019February 2, 2019 / Path to Fire / 3 Comments

Welcome to the January update. It's hard to believe we are already one month through 2019. This update will be short and sweet as there isn't a whole lot of progress to report as we continue to stockpile some cash. I found out that my new employer does their pay run once a month on … Continue reading January Update

December Update

2019 is upon us! I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. Apologies for the delay in getting an update article out, we spent some much needed time away with our family and friends. It was nice to be in a place of limited internet connectivity for a week, unwinding, and spending … Continue reading December Update

Hi again, and welcome to the November update! Finally this month our expenses have normalised, with nothing untoward popping up. This is the second month under the new debt structure, so if you missed what changes were made in October, best check out that update post before continuing here. Something interesting happened again this month. … Continue reading November Update

October Update

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018 / Path to Fire / 5 Comments

October has been and gone, and what a massive month it was for us! Some good things have come our way this month, with my wife being promoted. This will definitely increase our ability to pay down debt faster. Her job has a high degree of variability, so I have taken the lowest possible increase … Continue reading October Update
