My net worth went up a healthy clip this month, mostly because of my 401(k) contributions. However, it feels anything but good because my cash reserves have run so low. In fact, I thought my reduced contributions would have kicked in this paycheck, but it didn't. So, this week, my budget is short by $50.
Now, while it's not the end of the world or anything, this marks the first time in literally years where I've had a budget shortage. And it just irks me on general principle, making me feel grumpy.

Luckily i have that in my piggy bank at home but my checking account will be at zero by March 19th. Literally Zero. I will have to deposit some from my "house emergency fund" (what i keep at the house in case of emergencies if i have to get out of town fast) to keep it above zero. I am thinking just $25. that is usually what i have in my account around the 15th of the month. Yes i track every penny and can tell you where it went. I do not want to use any money in any of the savings accounts I have.
