My May Net Worth Update
Ummmmm...how is it May already? I feel like two weeks ago it was March and the government was telling us NOT to wear masks. How time flies when you’re having fun in quarantine.
April was a whirlwind. I went from employed to furloughed to employed again! This means I got to deal with all the anxiety and HORROR of applying for unemployment. And I never even got my benefits!
Side note: people who say that some people “abuse” unemployment have clearly never applied for unemployment. Trying to access money that is rightfully yours is 80x harder than getting a job.
ANYWAY, because I never actually got to cash out my unemployment money I had to move money out of my sinking funds. I did this to avoid dipping into my emergency fund while I waited on unemployment.
So, to get to the nitty gritty, my net worth went down by $259.00 this month. All in all, that decrease isn’t awful, but I’m bummed about it anyway.
Since I was furloughed for all of 7 days, I will eventually ~one day~ get that money back, but until then, c’est la vie.
Now that I’m back making that #cashmoney, I expect my net worth will start trending upward again, and maybe, just maybe, my goal of being net worth positive will happen by 2021..
As of today, May 1, 2020, my current net worth is -$14,377. This means I’d have to haul ass to get net worth positive by New Year’s.
I think I can do it! Now to crunch the numbers and figure out how…
Until next time!
