$20,207.55 New Balance

That means I have $314.25 left to go to hit my goal of six month's of expenses or $20,522.70.  It is so close!  I am budgeted to hit that on next payday, so that is exciting.  Then I can start saving up for other things.  I will probably continue to put a little into the Emergency Fund after that, maybe $100 per month (or maybe per payday) until I eventually, over the long haul, have one year's worth of expenses saved, but for the most part that will be a background thing, not a strive hard for thing.

With this networth has gone up to $129,097.55, although not really because retirement sucks this week.  I won't be doing a retirement update until it gets out of freefall.  I so miss 2019, 2018, and 2017.  This pandemic needs to have it's butt kicked out the door.  Every time Biden opens his mouth the stock market tumbles.  I'm so done with this president.  I gave him time, but nope, I'm done.  With food and gas prices off the chart, with what he has done to the oil industry, and with food shortages everywhere, anger is rising in the people here in my blue state.  And with his favorability rating at 31% and dropping, I am definitely not the only one who is done with him.
