For the first time in years, I am NOT going to tally up my net worth for the month. It is just too depressing. All of my mutual funds and individual stocks have gone down. I have been keeping track of them monthly for almost 20 years and this month, I just don't want to know. Also, for the first time in a year and 9 months, I have had to withdraw money from my savings for some unexpected expenses. Now, I need to work on building the savings back up.
Dh did a small plumbing job for one of the neighbors on sunday, so I do have a $60 check to add to my challenge money.
Prev. total $21,800.00
today 60.00
new total $21,860.00
No net worth

Hopefully, we can ride this out. It may take a while, though.

My first husband was a contractor, and I sure remember the lean times in the 70s when we were in a recession. Unlike other professions, there is not such thing as a guaranteed paycheck when you are in construction. This is why it is such a good thing you have ensured your well-being by savings prodigiously.

Do you have $21,800 dollars in a savings account from your challenge money? I have had to spend some of mine, and I don't even have $500.
I was just wondering.
