Needed to dip into the emergency fund and cut back on this months debt pay down due to some school costs that cropped up. However, due to some gains in my stocks and my companies profit sharing deposit into my 401(k) I was able to gain over $6,500 which raised (or lowered depending on how you look at it) my net worth to just under $19,000.

I’m, of course, hoping to make up some ground in the next month or so to put me back on track to have $1,600 by June – but overall I’m happy with the progress. And thankful that I had the emergency account to dip into.
