Thank you Bob for chiming in! That’s a great point you make – when life gives you lemons… it’s amazing to see that SMJ is making lemonade.

Hahah too funny about your partner! I think those of us who enjoy the juicy numbers would love to nerd out over spreadsheets for hours – but those not interested in the numbers (like Nic too!) just want to get to the bottom line hah!

Right! Thanks for chiming in Adam. It’s pretty admirable to see a single parent smashing goals.

I have a close relative who will find your story inspirational.
Your Instagram sticky note FI/RE timeline post is just how I should have explained my/our retirement plan to my wife – after half-an-hour of traversing her through 20+ Excel worksheets, showing how umpteen different scenarios might play out, she just said, “So, can we retire?” The sticky note model would have given her that answer, at the detail she needed, in under a minute!

I think she’s doing a fantastic job working towards that FIRE goal, and while I’m not really an IG person I checked out her material and thought it was really clean and professional, I loved her simple graphical style and the honesty with which she documented her goals and progress. Keep it up, I’m a fan!
