Now we're in South Dakota

If you're following our trek across country, we've made it to South Dakota! Since the last post, we've traveled from Wisconsin, down to Gulf Shores, AL, up to Marbury, AL (the Rehome stomping grounds), and now we're in Vermillion, SD. On its surface, Vermillion reminds me of a quaint small town where everyone knows your name and your skeletons. People seem nice if not friendly, and Rachel is having a great time setting up her shop. I'm farting around fixing things in the new apartment and beginning work on my next great writing adventure (stay posted!). I'll be applying to MFA programs and submitting work for publication in the coming weeks. I'll keep on plugging, so keep your fingers crossed.

As for the purpose of this blog, I'm changing lanes a little bit. If you haven't noticed, the blog has lately drifted from its strict adherence to financial advice. Basically, I realized I didn't have enough advice to give. Also, it seemed kind of boring compared to what I want this blog to become. Instead, now we're just focusing on the way life is living close to the red line. I'll send up those numbers I promised in my first post and everyone out there can watch as we get closer (hopefully:)) to being worthless. I'm thinking of going more political with posts occasionally as well. Also health and what it means to leave a legacy. So many topics; so little time. Now aren't you glad I'm not sticking to money?
