Money and Finance
Another week has come and gone. How do the days keep flying by so fast? All the more reason to reach financial independence as early as possible and start to recapture some of the ever-fleeting time that we have. With no appointments this week that means it was time to get back to work. Honestly I was glad to get back into a normal routine again after the whirlwind that was August. One thing that I really like about my job is that there's a lot of downtime but I still get paid. Who doesn't like that? Yesterday three of the guys that I work with and myself went golfing at a course near where we're working. It was a great day for golf as the temperature wasn't too hot considering we're in south Texas. The front 9 went quite well but the back 9, not so much. Considering I haven't golfed in nearly a decade I thought it was a pretty successful round. And even better is that I got paid as if I was working but was out on the golf course. That's a win in my book.
The markets have started to stumble a bit which is music to my ears. I added to my position in Deere & Company this week as well as continuing to add to my Loyal3 portfolio. I even got a few raises this week as well which is always a welcomed bonus. I'm looking forward to the markets continuing to decline and hopefully open up a lot more value. One company that I'm really interested in right now is Emerson Electric (EMR). I already own a small position in them and would like to add more if the share price dips a little bit. Other companies that I'm interested in are some of the oil majors (Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP) and Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and YUM Brands. What companies are starting to catch your eye for potential purchases?

Another week down and we can count off September as well. The second half of September took the markets on quite a ride but with volatility increasing that usually means lower prices and better entry points. I took advantage of the volatility earlier...

This past week was pretty crazy and honestly it was a really tough week. It started off good enough with the same old routine of finish up one job, drive home, do some paperwork, then spend some time with my wife. I love when the summer is in full...

Well this past week was just grinding away in the blistering heat down here in south Texas. Luckily I don't actually work outside but man it was extremely hot. We should be able to finish this well up sometime this weekend and I can't wait...

It's been a busy and fun week. I've been back to the grind at work now and I can't say I'm all that excited about it. Especially now that my wife is on summer break and has loads of free time. It makes it that much more difficult...

This has been a very busy week on the investment front. Much busier than I expected to be. I made 3 purchases this week, one in Pepsi that went through on Monday and another 2 later in the week. I'll have the write-up about the other 2 purchases...
