Normally, I'd wait until pay day to update, but seeing as how I am currently not receiving a paycheck (with it going to 401(k) instead), I decided that now is as good as any!
January. Not surprisingly, my net worth went up because January is when my employer's 401(k) match hits my account. It kind of skews things, but I'm not complaining!
I was heartened when I looked at my net worth list, seeing the pit from where I started, all the way to where I am currently. It gives me a sense of hope that maybe, just maybe, I can make it after all.
Especially in light of the fact that there's all this upheaval going on at the workplace. It just goes to show that the only financial security is the one you create for yourself.
You'll have to pardon my overall lack of enthusiasm today. Just another Monday blues kind of day I think.

While finances aren't great, they are better for those who planned or as you said "financial security is the one you create for yourself". There are many that are in dire straits today. Some have lost their jobs but some have made very poor financial choices.
I also don't look at Mondays the same. If you have your head above water, you are doing great.
