Markets High Again

February 20th, 2015 at 10:03 pm

The S&P 500 closed at a record high again today. I can't wait to look at our balances. I look when things are up and ignore it when the are down. So to me it seems like the market is always up when I look at our balances. Smile

My husband ordered another Army Service Uniform (Dress Blues) for work and a new pair of shoes. I was expecting over $400. I was wrong. Just $360 including alterations and the shoes. I like it when things are less than I expect, even if only by $40. Smile

Tonight we need to pick up cat food and maybe pick up more items at Lowe's with our credit. Otherwise we will stay in and stay warm and maybe catch a movie on Netflix. We signed up again, since my husband has found any things he likes during our free trial. I think it has been nearly three years since we had a subscription with them.

Will you check your retirement and investment balances now that the market closed at an all time high? Do you subscribe to Netflix or other services for entertainment?

    @michdado, this one month trial was sent to me by email. We had been customers in the past, so now I'm on their list. I think anyone can sign up and get their first month free. As for shows, I'm personally not watching shows. Just today I watched The Big Wedding, which was pretty good.

    I guess I'm a contrarian, I watch the market for a down day and prefer to make an extra purchase, in addition to the automatic plan. I sweep leftover sums from various categories into a linked saving to facilitate my contrarian tendencies. I don't always buy and I don't always have the money as it can be targeted to another goal.

    I have all my accounts, including all retirement accounts in Mint, so it takes one click of a button on my phone to update all of it on the screen. It is pretty impossible not to check it daily when it is 1 second away.

    I have a Sharebuilder account so everytime I check my Ing accounts I see it's balance ... otherwise I haven't checked the balances since early January.

    NE is thinking about subscribing to the Netflix one at a time plan - he's been subscribed to the streaming only plan for a few months and has enjoyed it, but is starting to run out of movies to watch. I'm not subscribed to anything right now.
