That was what I earned for the month of february. wow, free money!!

I got a check yesterday for $538 which I will add to my challenge money.

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. I walked a mile on my treadmill, did my 20 flights of stairs and stayed home, so i used no gasoline. For that I will pay myself $3 to add to my challenge money.

My husband is the type that sees the glass half empty. I am opposite, I see the glass half full.
I told him last night that we had lost some money when the stock market fell the other day.
But the way I told him was that we had made $30,000 in our mutual funds the past 5 months and only lost $10,000 of it. So we are still $20,000 ahead.
He keeps talking about the $10,000 that is gone instead of the extra money it made.
He is in his mid 50's, so I guess there is no changing him. I wish he did not view things so negatively.
I don't think I will even tell him what is going on with the market today! Don't you either!!
