My goal this year was to contribute $11,000 (after tax money) to my retirement accounts. I have completed this goal today!! This has been an expensive year for me and I am so glad and so happy that I was able to make this goal happen!! When I logged in and transferred the money it pushed my retirement accounts to over $66,000.
I know that this has been a tough year financially for a lot of people. I don’t share this news to brag. I just want to have a record of my journey. I feel like I am accomplishing things in spite of this pandemic. I hope that if things go poorly for me, as they have for so many others, I will at least have this money to fall back on. (Or at least some of it if the stock market crashes).
In other news, I have to undergo a $1,200 dental/periodontal procedure during covid-19. I thankfully will be able to cash flow it. I’m a little nervous about it and I hope it goes well. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
