Dow back above 11,000

July 16th, 2008 at 08:36 pm

The dow closed back above 11,000 today, up over 200 points. We need some good news this week.
The guy we are building a house for is upset cause he has money in Indymac, the bank that is being closed down.
I am sure he and everyone else, will get their money back because it is fdic insured.
I had a no spend day today and even better, a no use gas yesterday. I pay myself $2 every day I stay home and don't use gas. I won 3 games of mah jong, so I have $5 to add to my challenge money.
Prev. total $18,195.00
today 5.00
new total $18,200.00

    Hi Ima! I have a nosey personal question for you, but I'm really curious and you don't seem to mind talking about finances. Your About Me section says that you are trying to save so your husband can retire someday. Does that mean that your Challenge money is your retirement contribution, or is it over and above whatever you stash in an IRA?

    The market is acting very erratic this week. More so than usual. However, yes, this has been a good market day overall. I found it surprising because it's actually popping on bad news! In times like these, I wish I had some financial stocks to sell because chances are good that this may only be a short pop, and more bleeding is expected....

    Jane, my challenge money is just extra savings, over and above my IRA and my regular weekly savings!!
