Updates!! I have not blogged since March! The last few months have been a whirlwind. Last I left off, I updated you all that I had been offered a promotion. It’s a lot more work and very stressful, but I like it. I’m always busy and I think that helps me function better. My base salary is now $150k a year. That feels unreal.
I haven’t had time to do much else. I have been working like crazy. My investment accounts Roth and brokerage are just shy of $90k. That was my old yearly salary at my former firm. I loved investing in my Roth, but I can’t do that anymore. I need to look at backdoor Roth options. For now, I am just contributing to my brokerage account.
My car, I did purchase a car in August of last year. I financed almost $12,000. As of today the balance is down to $3,975. I will be paying it off in the next month or 2.
My savings account is up to about $6,400. (I had taken most of it out in August of last year to put as a down payment on my car). My plan is to get it up to $10,000 before saving for anything else. I should be there soon as I will get a $5,000 bonus in August. I will also likely qualify for a smaller productivity bonus in August as well ($500 or so).
I have been paying extra on my mortgage. It is now down to $174,831.
I am now qualified for the office health insurance so I no longer have to pay $700 a month for health insurance through the marketplace. Yay! That change has really helped over the last month. I cannot wait to see where I am at the end of the year.
I miss you all. I am still reading your blogs in my spare time so I can keep up to date. 🙂
