We’re having a rough week here at the RB40 household. Junior and I are sick again. We kept getting sick this winter and it sucks. Whenever I started to feel better, we’d get sick again a few days later. :x I guess this flu season really is worse than usual. To top it off, Mrs. […] Read More

Hey Readers, It has been a while since I gave an update on RB40Jr. Last year, I wrote more often about our son because we had a lot of problems at the beginning of Kindergarten. He had a difficult time adjusting to the new environment and he hit a few kids (and a teacher once…) […] Read More

Cooking at home is one of the best frugal moves anyone can make. It’s more affordable AND much healthier than eating out. A nice dinner out for our family of 4 usually costs about the same as a week of groceries. (My mom is staying with us until November.) We get much better value out […] Read More

It’s been almost 5 years since I quit full time employment to become a stay at home dad/blogger. There were some rough spots, but all in all the last 5 years have been awesome. In fact, this last 5 years have been the best time of my life and I could think clearly again. My […] Read More

A while back, I got an email asking – Do you feel bad being a stay-at-home-dad while your wife works? That’s a good question because there is still a lot of social stigma attached to being a stay-at-home-dad. SAHDs are pressured to feel bad because that’s how we were raised. Dads are supposed to work […] Read More

One of my missions in life is to help our son graduate from college with as little debt as possible. My parents paid for my college education and I was able to start saving and investing right out of school. If I had a large student loan debt hanging over my head, I’m sure I wouldn’t […] Read More

Time really flies when you have a kid. It seems like yesterday that RB40jr was born and I was still working at Intel. It’s been a very busy four and a half years and I can’t believe how fast he has grown. This is his last year at his preschool so we need to figure […] Read More

A few weeks ago, I was talking to Don, a successful young business owner and he really dislikes the idea of early retirement. He wants to provide a good example for his kids and he thinks early retirement is not the right way to do it. This was just a passing conversation, but he clearly […] Read More
