A near $2000 increase in net worth! That feels really good, however I think I’d be even happier had the majority of the increase come in the form of credit card payments, but either way – the increase was a good thing.

Though it’s nice that during the same time that I decide suspend retirement contributions my “lame duck” 401(k) has a near 12% jump.

So, to sum up, my success in the past month seems to be from good luck in my 401(k) and an increased paycheck.

It’s simple stuff, but as I’m learning it’s patience and discipline that whittles away debt.
