Financial highs/lows

March 8th, 2020 at 12:20 am

highs:

So, I kept $50 of the $250 from the unexpected payment I received from a relative. I just set up an electronic contribution for the remaining $200 to my Roth IRA. Another $270 will be transferred on Friday. That leaves me with $120 to pay before April 15 for my 2019 Roth IRA. I can definitely handle that! I can't wait to start 2020. I am proud of myself for making this a priority even when my income is meager compared to prior years. I also discovered that I can continue to make contributions to my 403B since I am working for a board of education part-time. I can't do much. but I am going to commit to at least $100 a month to that.

I have $241 saved from the 52 Weeks Savings challenge. I am trying to reach the $1,378 in six months and repeat the challenge. That will give me a total of $2756 saved by December 31st. This money is going towards fulfilling things on my Bucket List.

We are getting a little over $1200 from income tax returns this year between the Feds and the state. That money has been designated for home improvements.

Lows:
We have to replace the entire front porch decking of our house. It's a lemonade porch so it will definitely not be cheap to fix.

    It's a front porch that covers the width of the house and often times does not have railings. It's a rather large front porch.

    Okay, thanks! I kind of had that kind of image, but wasn't sure what it was exactly.

    Ouch on the porch repairs! I had never heard of a lemonade porch before either.
