Spending was lighter in October. A lot of what we did spend was on home improvement projects and gifts. Christmas shopping is half done already.
I have my Roth IRA and a trad IRA with a financial adviser and am not impressed with the performance this year. The market crashed, but quickly rebounded and our other accounts are doing much better than the accounts with him. I think I will give it one more year to see how my accounts there do, then move them if I don't feel like I'm seeing enough gains to outweigh 1. fees and 2. me feeling like I need to monitor this.
Most investment accounts are down right now, which was to be expected with the election tomorrow. I moved some cash into investments (a few thousand dollars total), so hopefully we'll get a slight bump from that after the election. |
