Financial Update

by Flexo on September 12, 2003

in Monthly Update

It’s been a while since my last update. I’m afraid I haven’t been able to save much with my move.

  July 16 September 12
Cash Accounts: $ 9,825 $ 11,417
Taxable Investments: $ 2,722 $ 2,795
401k (Pre-Tax): $ 6,127 $ 6,846
Roth IRA: $ 150 $ 485
Credit Cards: ($ 447) ($ 2,816)
Student Loan 3.97%: ($ 3,913) ($ 3,714)
Home Inventory: $ 6,784 $ 7,659
TOTAL $ 21,248 $ 22,672

It’s not a vast improvement. That credit charge, once again, is for apartment related items. 1% of everything charged in the card will be refunded to me, and I pay the balance off at the end of the month, so I never pay any interest on it.

Dude….you have so much in your cash accounts. That’s amazing.

Well keep in mind that $3,000 of that money I have in cash will be going to the credit card at the end of the month.
