| You knew it was bound to happen. Stock volatility was only a matter of time, and net worth amounts the world over were surely impacted. Personally I ignore such things and stay the course, working on topping that 6-figure cash flow and chipping away all other liabilities.
Still working on trimming the fat and removing unnecessary expenses. Another item I've added to that list is Lifelock (credit monitoring) which I've had for about 8 years. I believe it's better to just put a freeze on all the credit/checking companies and use CreditKarma for basic free monitoring. I monitor my stuff constantly enough so there's no need to pay for a service. That will save an extra $100/year.
Finally, it appears that some unexpected health changes may be coming for one of my parents this year. I don't know long-term financial impacts (not to mention the emotional impacts) right now, I just hope we're all ready to weather an unknown future. Life's curveballs can be difficult sometimes. That's all I got for now. |
