Wow, I’m actually sad to be typing this on my birthday eve. Exactly a year after I originally intended to reach my goal of a $500,000 net worth, I’ve achieved and surpassed it. Considering life has “lifed” so much in these last years, it feels surreal to know that I’m well on my way to my first $1M.
This project — started in November 2019 — has been a lot of things:
- A labor of love (for myself)
- A chronicle
- Public accountability
- An exercise in keeping and tracking a goal
- A veritable magnet for comments that say some variation of “WhErE’s tHe TrAvEl InFo?”

Now I begin my next things
Well, tomorrow I’ll be 41, and I’ve already started my next big projects:
- Renovating an old house in Memphis
- Building a cabin in the woods of Arkansas (building permit approved!)
- Getting a construction loan for another old house
- Other renos, rehabs, ideas, and connections
Things have been working out so easily, I swear it’s divine alignment. Life is good, the kids are healthy, and I’m steadily working.
It feels good to make things and meet people. I have no doubt that all these things will build my equity and soon provide solid cash flow. Let’s get to this last Freedom update.
