Another month gone – another year actually – and my overall net worth continues to slowly rise. This new year should be the year that I completely pay off my credit card debt, but in the short-term I’m happy that my company’s little stretch of trouble is over. My pay has been brought back to what it was a few months ago and I’ve taken the opportunity to slightly increase my 401(k) contribution a few percentage points before I get used to having all of my paycheck back.

Beyond increasing my savings, I now can increase my debt pay down and try to kick this thing into gear and start this year right.
