| I did pretty well this month, considering I bought quite a few items for the house -- lawn mower, tools, a rug, washing machine, yard items, etc.

--------------------------
June 2012 taxable dividend receipt total: $246.21
I continued with my 401(k) contribution of 5% -- plus a 4% match -- which will allow me to sock away about $5,500 a year to my tax-sheltered account and I'm also contributing $5,000 a year to the Roth IRA.
I believe I'm still on track to reach my goal of obtaining a net worth of $150,000 by the age of 30. I'll be 31 in February of 2014 and I believe I can make this goal. It may come down to the housing market, when determining if I can make this goal, but I'm optimistic.
June 2012 saw the best June stock market return since the mid 90s, which helped give me a boost this month. |
