Our why.

We fell in love with the Model YL. We don't have $62,000.

So I'm documenting how a dad of two (our youngest is three months old) gets there: building apps, taking gigs, selling what we don't need, and saving where we can.

Every dollar goes on the ledger. Every week gets a report. That's Dad's Next Dollar.
