Multiple bank, savings and retirement accounts near you April 2021 This bucket list item was solidified after months of listening to my favorite financial podcasts and starting on my own FIRE journey.

No. 5 indoor sky diving
IFly Ontario March 2021 Is it cheating if it was only indoors? If you think so, I’d argue that there are a lot of people that use the IFly facilities for the pre-flight trainings etc, so I think it counts!

No. 7 Go to therapy
September 2017 Costa Mesa, CA Why is there always such a negative association with people needing, wanting or going to therapy? I don’t know. But when not going turns into unloading (exploding) on our family and friends with moments (outbursts) of emotion that are catastrophic in size and sometimes volume, is that really the bestContinue reading “No. 7 Go to therapy”
No. 2 Become a “regular”
Everbarre 2019-2020 Irvine, CA This one depends highly on what you consider to be the definition of a “regular”. For my 30 before 30 it meant attending a class often enough that the instructor knew my name enough to also recognize when I hadn’t been in a while. One of the Bests introduced me toContinue reading “No. 2 Become a “regular””
