The American Dream…changing?

Posted on August 20, 2018October 3, 2018 by KDColl88

The view of the American dream is shifting. The generations before were “get a job, buy a house with a 30-year/15-year mortgage, work for 40+ years at that job while putting money in your 401K or IRA, retire, live off of your investments.” What about now? The norm is shifting. We Millennials are changing jobs more than…

Posted on August 14, 2018October 3, 2018 by KDColl88

After giving you all more than enough information on my past, my wife’s past, and a glimpse into where we are now, I thought it may be good to show the numbers on what our first real estate deal has been: Monthly Income: $1,750.00 Monthly Expenses: $1,550.00 Monthly Cash Flow: $200 NOI: $12,498 Total Cash Needed: $48,500 Cash on…

Blast to the Past: The beginnings of my financial world

Posted on August 8, 2018October 3, 2018 by KDColl88

I have always been a fairly frugal person… okay that may be an understatement. I grew up in a small(er) town where I could bike most places and most of my “fun” was had at no cost whatsoever; so what little income I did make, I generally saved nearly all of it (If only it were…

Hi Everyone! In case you couldn’t tell, this is my first one

Posted on August 8, 2018October 3, 2018 by KDColl88

Welcome everyone! After toying with the idea for months (probably more honestly, years…), I have finally decided to start my own blog, mostly on my (and now me and my wife’s) financial journey.
