Retirement Up Since Last Year & More

June 6th, 2017 at 08:35 pm

Retirement is definitely up from last year at this time. In fact, we had just met a milestone of $350K. But now, a year later our retirement accounts at last check totaled $439,848. A nice $89,000+ difference. That change is due to the market rise and our contributions over the year.

I sold an item on eBay yesterday. I only netted a small amount, maybe $2. But the items are gone. That money will go to the Big Goal.

I found a nickel in a store parking lot yesterday. Unfortunately, it didn't cover the costs of what I spent!

I used $30 worth of Amazon gift cards (earned through url=http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/creditcardfree] Swagbucks[/url]) to cover some phone and travel expenses for my daughter. A phone case and screen cover, a travel adapter, a book for her AP Literature class (she has to do a project over the summer!), and a travel wallet for cash and passport that she can wear under clothes. Out of pocket I only spent $6.52!

Today has been a no spend day! Happy about that, since it has been a very spendy June so far.

    Congrats on the net worth. It's amazing what compounding can do.

    Yes, just retirement, net worth is higher. I've always been fascinated by compounding interest. It's fun to see it with our own funds!

    Yes, I just checked the small share portfolio we have - last year being the first year we recorded -7% return, but at this current point in time for the 2017 we have recorded a 15.32% return, which is pretty amazing. Your difference of +$89,000 is great!

    I haven't looked at my investment accounts since end of Quarter 1, but based on what T S L A stock has been doing lately ... I imagine the numbers have grown a good bit. Smile
