Congrats on the new baby and I'm glad he's doing better - that sounds really scary. Plus, you kicked butt financially in 2014 - you set super aggressive goals and came close to hitting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-3146537650065408312015-02-20T11:25:45.434-06:002015-02-20T11:25:45.434-06:00JC,

I wouldn't be too worried about any of it, especially seeing as you're still far, far ahead of most people your age. You're killing it!<br /><br />Hope all is well with the fam.<br /><br />Best regards.

I'm definitely not disheartened or let down at all on the financial goals and would gladly wipe out my net worth to zero if it meant that our son was healthy and we could take him home. The only thing I really wish is that I could realistically be there through the whole process. But since my wife quit her job it doesn't make sense for both of us to be out of work. I know our son still has a very long ways to go before there will be talks of getting to take him home, I'd guess another 3 months easily, probably more, and there's just too much that's up in the air right now. It's bittersweet to be back but it had to be done. <br /><br />I'm hoping by May-ish the income/expense side should level out so then I can start trying to invest a bit more aggressively.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-45661464351940564112015-02-19T11:25:08.766-06:002015-02-19T11:25:08.766-06:00FI,

That is real success, and something that shouldn't be discounted when reviewing your year. I imagine you'll have no problem getting back on top of things as you get closer to normalcy on the home front.<br /><br />Glad your back my friend, you, your wife, and baby Lucas were certainly in all our thoughts.writing2realityhttp://www.writeyourownreality.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-71734184628306640692015-02-19T11:05:33.055-06:002015-02-19T11:05:33.055-06:00On the surface it may look like you "failed&q...On the surface it may look like you "failed" your goals, but that's only because you set the bar so high to begin with. And if you aren't going to set challenging goals, then what's the point? Regardless, I think you did a great job and made a lot of progress along the way.<br /><br />You increased your net worth by $100k, surpassed your $4.5k passive income goal, and continued to build the blog/readership and even earned a good chunk of side hustle income.<br /><br />2014 was a success in my book.
