We managed to just eek out a positive month in July. It’s a little frustrating to watch my portfolio continually get beat down, but I’m staying the course and anticipating the eventual bounce back.
The wife is no longer working, so we’re down to one income. Her school schedule for the upcoming semester just didn’t allow time for fitting in even a part time job. We’ve moved from DINK’s to SINK’s.
On the positive side, a couple of investment opportunities have presented themselves to me, and hopefully they will materialize over the next couple of months. As long as I can find some spare money somewhere to throw into them.
Your focus on accumulating money will ensure it happens. My net worth would have been around yours in 1996. I now have financial freedom. From looking around your site, you appear to be on the same path I traveled. I just wanted to let you know how close you are to achieving your goal; five, ten or even fifteen years in nothing in a lifetime.
