TheMonopolyProject (TMP) soared to over $300,000! Up, Up and Away! We are now cash poor, and asset rich: Our total bank accounts are down to less that $2,000 from a starting point of $100,000. We have invested almost all of the original $100K in three houses. The value of those [...]
Every month we show what is on our reading table. This month we added five books and we’re going to retire a number of books that we have just not gotten to. After a while, the book gets stale, and we just must let it go. Green is added, red is dropped, black [...]

We talked about the opportunity cost of going on a ‘once in a lifetime’ 10 day trip to the 75th anniversary [...]
