The first 2 weeks of March were AWESOME! The stock market is still booming. It is hard to believe after 2.5 years I have nearly $25,000 saved for retirement. About $6000 of that is interest earned in the past year, since the recovery began.
In March, I passed the $80,000 networth mark thanks to the great stock market month and my car value inflating. I also had a very cheap month when it came to eating out. I only spent $110, that is about 20-30% lower than normal.
I already have a good feeling about the May 1 entry. April is a 3 check month, which means an extra paycheck to sock away in my house downpayment fund, and an extra $700 going towards my retirement account. With a good stock market month, there is a possibility that I will have the highest networth percent gain ever, month-to-month. I have to top 8.5%, which is nearly $7000. |
