Since the market has been so volitile, I've stopped recording our monthly balances. I could go back and update it, but why look at the bad, right?
Today, I decided to record our balances for the month of May. Things are looking up. Yes!!
Some of the increase is, of course, due to our new contributions. We didn't stop retirement contributions because of the economy. It is better to buy on sale, when prices are low. Besides, we have many years before we need the money.
So, the details...we are up by $7,233.74 since the last time I checked on April 3, 2009. Here's to more good financial news in coming months!
Finally Looking Up

I saw a video clip of Warren Buffett where he basically said if you save every month for 30/40 years, irregardless of short-term fluctuations, you will do very well.
Simple yet true.
