Well my first behind the scenes post was relatively well received so I’m back. This time I’ll give you a quick’ish update on how things have been going over at Camp FIRE Finance during our first six months.

Want to get a bigger raise at work? Ever since I started pursuing FIRE I’ve done one little thing that’s helped me to effectively DOUBLE the raise I get each year.
The Law of the Harvest has biblical implications, but for the non-religious among us there are some parallels we can draw that will also help us set and achieve our financial goals. In my quick’ish style, allow me to do just that.
One thing I’ve learned the hard way is the importance of setting financial goals. They say ‘the unaimed arrow never misses‘ and I’ve definitely found that to be true. During the times in my life when I’ve not had a goal, I’ve not made any measurable progress.
I suspect many of you have had similar periods in your life where you fell into a rut and were just going through the motions.
That’s a terribly unfulfilling way to live, so these days I’m constantly striving to reach different goals. This year is no different. I’ve set four main financial goals for 2018 they’re going to be tough to achieve, but that’s sort of the point.
Hey there! BEAM is now live, and so is my review. Spoiler alert: it’s not good. Check it out right here
Several months ago I posted this review of Beam, a Fintech app that’s been getting a lot of buzz for the high interest rates of 2%-4% that they’ll be offering customers.
Most big banks and financial institutions offer interest rates of less than 1%, so the possibility of a 4x return is appealing to say the least!

So I reached out to the company with several questions that many of you have asked me and I’ve got some answers. What follows is Beam’s word-for word responses to my questions (emphasis added in parts by me).
