Recently I wrote a post about counting the countries I had visit:
The ‘How Many’ Game
I consulted my map and travel page and came up with a corrected count of twenty-one!
I doubt I’ll be traveling anywhere else this year…but hope to get in a couple trips next year.
I love traveling! Makes me happy just thinking about it 
It’s been a while since I updated my NW, but thought it was about time…and with the recent market crash I’m a bit curious to see what what my personal bigger picture is now.
The below numbers are a comparison of mid-Oct08 to May08 (not posted) numbers:
Asset growth = - 4.46%
Debt reduction = 6.09%
Overall Goal = 59.8%
Asset growth is actually not bad considering the market lately.
Debt reduction is a result of paying off my car (hooray) and greatly reducing a personal loan.
I suspect now with the nasty market situation, my Overall Goal may take a little longer to reach.
However I expect that by next summer, my cost of living will be going dramatically down while I continue with my current income, and that should put my savings on a faster track.
What happened? I was doing pretty good posting regularly - and then?
Shortest version possible:
In April, after having deciding on Fort Collins, CO as my next best place to live, I was house hunting. On my last day of a house hunting visit that was becoming more and more frustrating, I saw the Little Blue House. It fit all my picky requirements, the down side was that it already had a first right deal in place. In a flurry of communication and work, making a very long and tedious story short: I closed on the Little Blue House the beginning of May.
