Top Three Update

Dear Friends and Family,

With under 30 minutes of coffee time left this morning, I'm going to tackle a Top Three update. I must be losing my sanity.

Number 1 is easy. Pioneer. We're about halfway through a journey that takes us to just the start of a lifelong adventure. On a practical note, though, we've got a couple of months to figure out what we need to stock, what we need to get smart on, and what we need to do to prepare space. It's overwhelming.

Number 2 is easy. Money. Money. Money. It pays the bills. It makes it easier to sleep at night. It's part of being an adult. This one is about keeping the budget where it needs to be. And, about finding a good interest bearing account for our rainy day fund. And, about continuing to pay down the house. We're not jumping on the refinancing bandwagon. We have a 15 year fixed loan with a low enough rate and a low enough balance that it's just not a priority for us.

Number 3 is a stumper. What to focus on? It seems like work is consuming a lot of time and energy. Is that the right thing to focus on? Perhaps it is. I'm really enjoying it. I'm still new on the team. And, it's something that feels a little like an inflection point right now.


Cheers!
