Gen Y Finance Guy Blogging

Three years since I pushed “publish” on the first post of this blog! It’s almost hard to believe. I started out writing these reflective posts at every six-month milestone, but now that’s morphed into a yearly update since my last update was the blog’s two-year anniversary. My long-time readers know by now that I tend to view most things through a numerical lens, so I’m going to dive deep into those later in this post. My hardcore belief is that “the path is all math,” and I truly believe that you can neither manage nor optimize that which you don’t measure. Maybe I measure more than I need to, but since the numbers never lie, I probably won’t ever stop …

Physician On Fire

[Guest Post] Interview with Physician on Fire

Gen Y Finance Guy Freedom Fighter, Interview 11 Comments

Today we have a fascinating guest taking over the blog to tell us a bit about his freedom fighting journey. He’s the first doctor we have showecased on the blog, and has already become financially independent (with a net worth around $3M), and work has therefore become optional.

Without further ado, I introduce to you, Physician on Fire… 1) Who are you and what do you do? What is your story? How are you fighting for your Freedom? Where did you start, where in the journey are …

2017 Big Money Goals

Big Money Moves – Mid-Year Check-Up – What Has GYFG Been Up To?

Gen Y Finance Guy Goal Setting 7 Comments

Way back in February I shared 5 big money goals and I thought with only 4 months left to the year that it would be a good time to circle back and see how I’m doing against those goals. It’s probably also a good time to update things that have changed vs. the plan I laid out months ago. Before we jump into the financial goals I laid out earlier this year, I would like to share a very relevant quote with you: No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy. The short of it is that not everything has gone according to plan in 2017. That said, I can’t really complain because things are still moving up and …
