I did my quarterly networth last night and so far this year I've made $8,000 more than I've spent. I expect I'll need another $10 - $12K before the end of the year for xmas and medical bills and general living expenses. I've spent just over $14k so far this year. The lowest level of expectation is to meet my expenses each year. The hoped for is to meet expenses and earn 3 - 4% or inflation on my investments. And the optimimum is to make double my expenses. This year I think I'll meet my expenses but don't know how much more.
Paid both credit cards, home insurance and the cleaners today - big chunk of change gone Discover is giving 5% back on restaurants and fashion for the next quarter and MC is giving 5% on groceries, department stores and movies.
I finished reading the library book Mission of Honor by David Weber. Sci/Fi - very good.
