• The personal finance and budgeting process that allowed us to save more than ever
• Why we didn’t reach our revenue goals for 2025 and what we’re doing about it this year
• Our savings strategies and how we’re modifying our investments this year
• (Lack of) progress on our debt, and why we’re not stressing about it
