You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
おとといの飛び石連休日。定期も切れていたので、３人でいつもの電車が見える公園に行っての電車鑑賞。
It was a week of holidays interrupted by a single workday. Since my commuter pass had expired, I decided to spend the day with my family at our favorite park, where we can watch trains.
その後は、幸楽苑でのラーメンランチ。３人がそれぞれラーメンを注文して2,200円で食べられ、しかもけっこうおいしい。家族みんな大満足。公園でもう少し遊んだ後は、近くのマックでデザート。
After playing and watching trains for a while, we went to Korakuen, a ramen franchise, for lunch. Even though we each ordered our own bowl of ramen, the total cost was only 2,200 yen, and the taste was great—we loved it. After lunch, we returned to the park to play some more before stopping by McDonald’s for dessert.
それぞれフロートを注文。初めての炭酸飲料だったけど、おいしいと言って飲んでくれた。久しぶりの３人でののんびりとした休日になった。
We each got a float with vanilla ice cream, and since it was my son’s first time having a carbonated drink, he absolutely loved it. We took a break, just the three of us, and enjoyed some peaceful family time.
家に帰ってからは、今年始めての資産残高の確認。これが今年の基準になる。株式の成長によるところが大きいけど、今年もこれまで同様に資産を伸ばしていきたい。
After returning home, I checked my financial assets for the first time this year. This will serve as the baseline for the year. Thanks to the strong stock market, my assets have grown, and I aim to increase them even further this year.
FIREに向けて今年は我慢の１年。どれくらい資産を増やせるかで残り年数が大きく変わってくるといっても過言ではないだろう。
This will be a patience-testing year on my journey toward FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). It’s no exaggeration to say that how much I can grow my assets this year will significantly impact how many years remain until I achieve FIRE.
To be continued.
