Money and Finance
First off, Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers out there. For myself, and I'm sure for the majority of you, we are pursuing financial independence not because we hate working. Rather it's because we hate the things we miss out on because of work which in many cases is family. Whether it's having to work late to meet a deadline or travel out of town for work, whenever you are forced to keep a job to maintain your lifestyle that comes with a sacrifice. However, if you combine consistent saving and investing and give it enough time compound interest can do amazing things and allow you the freedom to enjoy more time with family.
This is my first father's day and coincidentally enough it's also Luke's 7 month birthday. I can't say things have gone exactly as I expected but there's very few things that do. It's still hard to believe that Luke is 7 months old today but it also seems like an eternity since he was born. He had another very up and down week but he's currently back on a more stable trend which we hope will continue.

My weekly roundup is coming a bit later in the weekend than normal but I'm taking advantage of the time I get with Luke while I can. He's been doing well the last week and it's been so great having him be relatively stable. Especially...

Well the schedule for work was short-lived because the rig ended up getting dropped. But that doesn't mean I won't have any work coming up I just don't know where it will be just yet. With the price of oil starting to trend higher it could...
