Earlier today, YouTube served me a video of an interesting presentation by Greg Warren, the Morningstar analyst who covers Berkshire Hathaway (“BRK”). Greg said something that I had been thinking about and inspired me to get my thoughts down. So, rather than write about any of the topics I had planned, I am going to share a few thoughts on Berkshire Hathaway’s cash horde and Greg Warren’s: Five Reasons to Consider Buying Berkshire Hathaway.
My 2020 Goals
I think setting some 2020 goals down in electrons will be valuable. For me, it will hopefully cause some reflection as I set the goals and create some accountability by publishing them on the blog. I hope it will also inspire us all to approach 2020 with some intention and a “growth mentality.”

State of the Stash – December 2019
Happy New Year! It is time for my personal finance journal update. I am just going to update savings/invested assets in this post and will work on another post updating total net worth and doing an annual review over the next several days. It takes a little bit longer to estimate my total net worth as I’ve got some real estate and deferred compensation to value.

It is time for my monthly personal finance journal update. October was pretty exciting. I increased my savings over the last month due to a bit of a small income windfall. I also had some help from Mr. Market. I am getting close to a pretty big milestone.
Read MoreErrors and Omissions: Apple and Coty
I thought I would start a new “series” of posts to regularly check in with my portfolio of active investments: sort of a “post-mortem,” without the mortem (hopefully, I will discuss some successes as well).

It is time for my monthly personal finance journal update. September was a huge bounce back from August. I made some real progress. Mr. Market put his shoulder to the wheel as well.

It is well past time for my monthly personal finance journal update, so let’s get to it. August was another of those months where the grind was real. I wasn’t able to make much progress due to the fluctuations of Mr. Market.

It is time, yet again, for the monthly airing of my private financial laundry. This is going to be a quick update as the day job and the toddler are keeping me fully occupied. It is easier to carve out time to write, however, then you have a good month like July!
