I hope everyone had a great time on Halloween! Ours went pretty well. The kids scaled the neighborhood in about 30 minutes, which was perfect for Mrs MMD since she was freezing her tail off walking them around. The haunted garage was another hit, and I took down a lot of great ideas for next year. My only complaint was that I wish we had had more visitors. Things in our area were a little caught off guard by the cold and rain, but I’m not going to complain since just about anything is better than the mess they had to deal with on the East coast.
I will have an epic post next week that will literally melt your eyes out! Your head may possibly also explode. I’m not kidding. If you think you’ve seen the full extent of my “money design” plan, you haven’t seen anything yet!
On Monday I’ll gladly present the much anticipated follow-up to my October Money Design Update where I take each of my potential income streams, add some real numbers and projections to them, do the math, and see if my plan will actually work or not. I’m really hoping to turn some heads with my handy Excel work!
I have been alluding to this post ever since the October update, and I’ll be honest – it’s taken me some time to construct these projections. But nevertheless, it’s written now with graphics and everything to go along with it, so I hope everyone gets a real treat from it!

Thanks for the mention.
I’m really interested in seeing this eye melting post for Monday.
Halloween was pretty cold here too. We went out with my niece for about 20 min. I felt so bad for her. When we crossed the streets her little hands felt like ice.
Have a great weekend.
MMD says
That was definitely a cold one this year! I hope she had a great time.

Thank you kindly for the mention. The mini haunted house in the garage sounds like it was simply awesome. I love when people decorate with smoke machines paired with those spooky strobe lights.
