Tag: Budget Updates
In the links below, you’ll find our monthly and annual FIRE budget updates that reveal our personal finance decisions through our income and expenses. We hope they offer you guidance and inspiration on your FIRE journey.
You’ll see how we manage our money, travel the world, and live a meaningful life on a reasonable budget.
You’ll also learn from our mistakes, challenges, and tips along the way.
You’ll find all of our posts tagged as Budget Updates in the listing on this page.
Our budget updates before the start of 2022 tended to break down every single monthly expense category. That’s helpful if you’re looking for details about things that tend to repeat for us (utilities, insurance, mortgage, and so on).
Whether you’re new to FIRE or already living it, we invite you to explore our budget updates!

A big cash back win carried us through July as we adventured through “Waterland” and toured Copenhagen!
Time to recover from our May wedding? Maybe at some point!—instead, we were off to Montana for a little Glacier adventure in June!
Friends, family—our community—all showed up to celebrate and wish us well as we begin our married life, together. The wedding we planned, and wanted!
With our wedding on the horizon, Chris zoomed off in a supercar chase to celebrate—not his nuptials—but his 40th! Plus, we’ve a donation competition!
