Since I refinanced my home, I was able to effectively place this month's payment at the end of the 30 years and build up my cash reserves a bit more.
Dividends received in January of 2013:
31Jan2013 MWTIX $6.21
Bumped my 401(k) contributions up to 10% -- plus a 4% match -- and I'm also contributing $5,500 a year to the Roth IRA in 2013.
I now fairly confident 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.
Prediction of net worth change: + $3,000 |
