I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 28 years, disabled daughter, adult son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!It was a bad week, followed by a good week for our retirement accounts and we ended up $1039.39 ahead. $660 of that was contributions from us and $110 was contributions from DH's job. That means $341.35 in interest. I'm sure it would have been better without all the hedge fund nonsense with Gamestop and AMC stock. It usually is. Personally, I don't think hedge funds should be allowed to exist, I find them unethical, but I don't want the stock market tanking because people wanted to purposely set out to destroy the hedge funds either. Just don't mess with my retirement accounts, people.
Anyway, we have broke $45K this week and the new balance in of all our retirement accounts (minus the company stock) is $45,250.18. $50K is getting closer and closer.
