This month was a nice boost in several areas, mostly the freelance department. Both tax refunds, however quaint, were also attributed, as well as the rental, for about a $13K income stream. Been a while since I made that much in a 30-day span! At any rate, it bumps me into the $1.1MM crowd. Whoopee.
The SEP IRA has been maxed for this year, and I've paid off the remaining kitchen refresh CC debt so that's all in the clear. Ally briefly teased a 4.75% promo no-penalty CD so I threw most of my emergency fund in there, just for kicks. I've ante'd up plane tickets for a trip to Seattle later in the year but that's the most I've really spent on any one thing.
Home values seemed to have crept back up, strange as that is, but if that's what the markets are doing, then who am I to argue? It doesn't bode well for trying to buy another rental investment, but I think that's way out of the cards for the moment.
Overall it's hard to predict where the economy is going. Some say this way, some say that way. But this is no time to be guessing! Better to just stick it out and keep on the same path. |
