The time has come! After my most recent paycheck I finally hit $300k net worth. 🥳 There’s no telling if this number will stay as the market continues its roller coaster ride, but I’ll take it! The default view on Empower (previous Personal Capital) where I track my net worth is a 90-day lookback. I rarely switch from this view, but yesterday I decided to go as far back in time as possible. And boy was it fun to see!…
July was an anxiety-filled month. Work has been crazy and my manager broke the news that she spoke with higher ups and I will not be getting a salary increase. Their rationale is they have hired a dedicated person to help alleviate the work I was helping with for a different department. Another person from my department is also finally coming back after having taken a month leave. I was assured that once that’s in motion, she’d take back the role…
This will be a fairly short update on my budget, saving, and loan payment for December as my year end review will be coming shortly. December was uneventful for the most part. I worked overtime almost every day this whole month which is lame because I’m salaried, meaning I’m not getting any overtime pay. I hope (more like, I better!) get a good bonus/raise in 2022 for my extra work. Student Debt Student debt paid this month: $880.77 Student debt…
November was a very draining month. I just didn’t have the energy to do anything else once this month ended hence the late post. Work has been crazy busy with end-of-year deadlines approaching so mentally I’ve been drained every time I get off work. I also went out of town almost every weekend in November which definitely further drained my energy (not to mention my gas budget) driving 5-6 hours each week back and forth. Plus, I felt like I…
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through 2021! Unlike last month when I thought May flew by like a blur, June felt long. I felt like I did a lot this month which surprised me that with the exception of some miscellaneous spending, I’ve pretty much stayed on budget for most of my regular expenses. That breakdown along with a disappointing net worth update will be coming up later in the post. Home Update Last month, I broke the news…
