Been a rough first quarter with the market. Inflation has hit record highs and there's news of a recession in the forecast. As a result, my investment accounts took a beating which has reduced my net worth. I'm still contributing to my IRA for the year to max it out while also trying to contribute at least $4K to a 529 plan this year for my kid. $4,000 is the max amount to see a tax benefit for my state. I may put more in since I wasn't doing this in years past - catch-up contributions. Hopefully things will turnaround in the market despite the Ukraine-Russian conflict that is ongoing along with the uncertainty that brings. Anticipating a reduction in cashflow (in perpetuity) come October when I experience a job change (end of orders). |
