Monthly Update - June 2014

Here is our Monthly Update:

Net Worth Standing for June 1, 2014:

Assets: $653,209.26 - Liabilities: $133,569.36 = Net worth: $519,639.90

Net Change = increase of $13,121.58





The month of May flew by, and we are now finally enjoying some warmer weather.

Thanks to the markets rallying again at the end of May, we have increased our Net Worth and continue to decrease our debts.  Our debt is significantly dropping (love to see those red bars going down).  We are a little over 1/2 way to our goal of increasing our Net Worth by $100k this year.  Since we are only at the beginning of June, we should definitely hit our goal, and hopefully even exceed it.

Mr. Breeze and I both had some serious concerns regarding our corporate jobs.  We know that both of our positions are high paying, and could easily be on the chopping block in the near future.  My boss was asked to step down so that has caused a bit of turmoil and stress in my office, and Mr. Breeze has had some employees leave so as manager his job is causing him more stress.  The levels of stress we are trying to each manage has caused us to be snippy with each other.  We are working towards achieving Financial Independence, so that at least one of us is able to leave our corporate job soon.

We continue to strive to increase our savings percentage and went from saving 10% of our income to now saving 25% of our income, and if you count the Ch. 13 payments (which is paying down debt) we are closer to 44% of our Gross income!

Baby Breeze is enjoying the warmer weather and we are trying to spend as much time as we can during the longer evenings and weekends.  We are amazed at the free things we can do with Baby Breeze (which I have been putting together in another post).
