The summer is FL?YING by! Another month down!

Another uptick to the Networth grind. Still well below the all time high from last year, but we're closing in. If the markets stay strong we've got a chance to hit the target goal for the year. This month we had a $3500 gain. If we can average 4020 a month the rest of the way, we'll hit it. That said, it will be tough to sustain that type of gain. I should say I was pretty aggressive with some of my goals so if we don't quite get there, we'll be fine, but I really would like to.

One big help will be the doubling of my company's contribution towards 401k although they'll only be adding 3% total. I love their wording "50% up to 6%." Oh you contribute up to 6%??? Um, no...only half that if you contribute 6%. So lame.

We'll see how things go...maybe Vegas at the end of the month will help!
